Russia used almost the entire range of missiles it had at its disposal in Russia’s largest coordinated missile and drone attack on Ukraine of the war, said Air Force spokesperson, Yuriy Ihnat, on national TV on Dec. 29.
"In fact, everything was flying," Ihnat said.
“Perhaps [only] Kalibrs were missing. But we saw Kinzhals, ballistic missiles, S-300, cruise missiles. We see the use of Shaheds.”
About 18 strategic bombers also launched X-101/X-505 cruise missiles.
"The target was Ukraine because we haven't seen so much red on our monitors – and red is an enemy target – for a very long time," Ihnat said.
“Actually, everything was covered in enemy air targets. In all regions, in all directions.”
The Russians first conducted "reconnaissance-in-force" by launching Shahed UAVs, and then fired missiles of various types.
