Comparing data from both sides, ISW came to the conclusion that half of the UAVs reached their targets.
Ukrainian drones have attacked many of their intended targets in Russia over the past 24 hours.
As a report from the American Institute for the Study of War notes, this can be assumed based on the differences in reporting data. ISW recalled that on the night of December 30, the Ukrainian military carried out a large series of attacks on targets in Russia.
Western and Ukrainian media, citing Ukrainian security sources, reported that our troops launched more than 70 drones at Russian military infrastructure and military-industrial facilities near Moscow, Belgorod, Tula, Tver and Bryansk.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country announced the interception of 32 UAVs in the Bryansk, Oryol, Kursk and Moscow regions. Analysts say the discrepancy between Russian and Ukrainian figures may indicate that Ukrainian forces hit many of their intended targets.
Attack on Russian territory
As previously reported, on the afternoon of Saturday, December 30, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a missile attack on military targets in the Russian city of Belgorod.
The destruction of Belgorod’s civilian infrastructure occurred as a result of ineffective Russian air defense.
On the night of Saturday, December 30, our military carried out a combined attack on Russian military targets,
According to media reports, the targets of the drones, in particular, were the Bryansk Chemical Plant named after the 50th anniversary of the USSR, as well as Silicon El in Bryansk, where electronics for combat missile systems were produced. In addition, enemy military infrastructure facilities located in Moscow, Tver, Tula and Belgorod were attacked.
