“Ukraine Thwarts Intense Attack on Capital”
“The attack was one of the largest since March and appeared to demonstrate Ukraine’s growing capability to defend against Russia’s arsenal of aerial weapons.”
“Ukraine says it shot down Kinzhal missiles, one of Russia’s most advanced weapons.”
“Ukraine’s air defense intercepted six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles fired by Russia early Tuesday, Ukrainian officials said. If confirmed, the strikes would be further evidence of Ukraine’s ability to shoot down one of the most sophisticated conventional weapons in Moscow’s arsenal.
In one of the largest aerial assaults since early March, Russia also launched nine Kalibr cruise missiles from ships in the Black Sea, three short-range ballistic missiles from land and a number of drones, according to the commander in chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. All of the drones and missiles were shot down, the military said. “
“Ukraine intercepts missiles as Russia steps up strikes on Kyiv”
“Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 18 attempted Russian strikes on Kyiv early Tuesday including six hypersonic missiles, military and city authorities said, largely foiling one of Moscow’s fiercest attacks so far.”
It does look like Ukraine made a good decision to make a stand in Bakhmut. The RuZZian army’s winter offensive failed while making only slow, grinding progress in Bakhmut with staggering losses.
“‘Bakhmut Trap’: Ukrainian Advances Vindicate Defense of Besieged City”
“Kyiv drains Russian troops by doggedly defending Bakhmut in 10-month battle of attrition”
“We lured the enemy into a Bakhmut trap,” said Col. Serhiy Cherevatiy, a spokesman for Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine. “The enemy has lost an incredible amount of manpower. We’re continuing to bleed the enemy.
Kyiv has in days reclaimed territory that it took Russian troops weeks of slogging through mud to seize. Those gains came as warmer weather dried up the ground after months of snow and mud had blocked most movements.”
They are starting to panic in Russia!
Their best most advanced super-sonic ballistic missiles were all thwarted last night over the Ukrainian capital by Western high-tech anti-missile systems.
This produces an international political message that is truly shaking the ground under the feet of all our ennemeies.
