For the fourth night in a row, the Russian military launched with unprecedented intensity three waves of missile attacks along the coast of Ukraine, dismantling the ports of Odessa and completely destroying the region's air defenses.
Igor Ignat, the representative of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was forced to admit that the air defense cannot intercept the Russian missiles. It is important to see if the anti-ship systems of the Ukrainians were also hit.
It is characteristic that previously, all Russian attacks were carried out at night, but today the Russian Armed Forces struck in daylight.
Retired Russian General Evgeny Buzhinsky emphasized that "Russia is hitting all the port infrastructures. All ports have been hit. The blows were planned. But these are not the retaliatory blows.
In the next few days we will see what happens. Putin's retaliation order has been drafted and will go into effect soon. Therefore, the worst is yet to come," he said.
The operational command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "South" reported that a total of seven cruise missiles of various types were fired against an infrastructure installation and a weapons depot in the Belgorod-Dniester region.
"The Russians fired up to four Onyx anti-ship missiles," said Igor Ignat, a spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"We are already seeing the third attack of the "Onychos". "Previously, from 10 a.m. to now, the enemy launched up to four P-800 Onyx missiles against the Odesa area, somewhere south of the regional center," Ignat said .
He added that "it is not possible to destroy all air targets" because there are not enough means to detect and destroy them.
According to Ignat, the P-800 Oniks fly very fast and fall to a height of only 10-15 meters on approach, which makes them a very difficult aerial target for air defense.
Odesa Governor Oleg Kiper also reported that a major infrastructure facility was hit by missiles during the day.
One of the major communication centers of the Ukrainian Army was destroyed, as well as air defense systems in the area of the Odessa airport, which is used as a military installation.
