Russia launches massive attacks on Ukraine, Ukrainian army admits it has become more difficult to shoot down Russian missiles for the first time

Russian troops launched a large-scale joint attack on important industrial and military targets within Ukraine in the night of June 6th!

According to the spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia used X-101 cruise missiles, "Kalibr" cruise missiles, 9M723 ballistic missiles from the "Iskander-M" tactical missile system, as well as "Bayraktar TB2" and "Geranium-2" UAVs during this attack.

The targets covered multiple airports and industrial enterprises in Kyiv Oblast, Mykolaiv Oblast, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Zhytomyr Oblast, and Cherkasy Oblast.

The Ukrainian army has admitted for the first time that it is becoming more difficult to shoot down Russian "Iskander" and "Kinzhal" missiles because the Russian army is modernizing them.

This was stated by Yuri Ignat, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force Communications Bureau, when commenting on the strike by Russian troops on Ukraine last night.

Ignat said that after the appearance of the American Patriot air defense missile system in Ukraine, it began to show good results - shooting down Kinzhal and Iskander missiles. But now it has become more difficult to do so because the Russian Federation is modernizing its ballistic missiles.

According to Ignat, the American Patriot air defense missile system is the most effective in intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, while NASAMS and IRIS-T missile defense systems have not yet had the ability to deal with such threats.

After Ukraine was attacked by Russian missiles and drones last night, President Zelenskyy instructed the country's Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs to raise two issues at the next Ramstein meeting (also known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting): one is to provide more air defense systems, especially the "Patriot" air defense system; the other is to send Western task forces to Ukraine.
