NATO jets were scrambled overnight as Russia carried out its largest drone attack yet on Ukraine, launching more than 700 drones, officials said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the "new massive Russian attack on our cities" involved "728 drones of various types, including over 300 Shaheds, and 13 missiles – Kinzhals and Iskanders.
"Most of the targets were shot down. Our interceptor drones were used -- dozens of enemy targets were downed, and we are scaling up this technology. Mobile fire groups were also active – they downed dozens as well. I thank all our warriors for their precision," he added.
Ukraine’s Air Force said the assault mainly targeted the northwestern city of Lutsk and according to preliminary data, "air defenses neutralized 718 enemy air attack vehicles, 303 were shot down by fire, 415 were lost in location."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
But really do even the most ardent supporters of Zelensky believe this , even for a second?:
Russia launched the record number of drones in the entire WAR for one day. 728 and Ukraine shot down or disrupted (by E.W.) 718 of them? That’s a 99 PERCENT success rate!
GROK says that by averaging all drone types an overall success rate of 70% is possible which means hundreds got through not TEN..count them - - - - - - - - - -😂
No doubt shot down by the made-up ‘Ghost of Kyiv’. That fake news warrior had an amazing success rate. Eventually the Ukrainian military admitted they created the Ghost of Kyiv for morale purposes, which I think meant propaganda-but-we-got-caught. Yes, propaganda on all sides of the war, but the Ukraine ‘s often seems so silly. And really with a success rate like that why should we give them air defenses when they claim they do great without them?
Ukraine isn’t NATO. Why were NATO jets scrambled?
The BS coming out of everywhere is getting so irritating. I don’t believe anyone anymore.
p
Okay and do you think you have a big point because someone may have exaggerated how many drones they shot down?
The anwer to your question as to why they release this info on a devastating drone attack and then go with the chest thumping about how they repelled almost all of it is this.
The neoCONs know it is hard to convince people to spend money on a losing cause and they need to justify why you gullible US taxpayer fools should keep ponying up cash and weapons. LOL
So are you claiming no jets scrambled or are you complaining that Jets were scrambled. I’m going to assume that the United States and the NATO alliance take all kinds of defensive preparations when hundreds of drones and other attacks are taking place nearby.
Isn’t it fun to merge all the reality of this earth into the word neocon? There is no Russia or Ukraine there are only neocons.
Russia often sends attacks over or close to Poland a NATO member.
Are you saying that you don't believe that NATO jets were scrambled? Really?
Lutsk is very near the Polish border, so of course NATO (Polish) jets were scrambled!

Mindless parrot.
?
Yet it was Ukraine that filed a rocket into Poland...
Any day could start WW III.
It all makes sense since a war is being fought utilizing Polish airspace.
Yeah, and who is that besides President Trump? Neither Putin nor Zelinsky seem to want it.
And which country scrambled jets? I missed it.
I’ve been afraid of that since the beginning of this blood bath.
Well since you won’t respond please inform me what you decided to give me an open insult?
Have I insulted you?
How was what I said “mindless” and just who am I “parroting”?
Come on I see you have an inflated ego as you give “free attitude adjustments” . So I have an attitude..adjust it.
