ANALYSIS: Dissecting Russia’s Most Recent Massed Missile and Drone Strike on Ukraine
Kyiv Post ^ | March 29, 2024 | Stefan Korshak

Posted on 03/29/2024 5:36:59 PM PDT by Chad C. Mulligan

Ukrainian air defenders on Friday morning had fought a tough overnight battle against nearly a hundred missiles and drones launched by Russia at targets across the country, shooting down the bulk of the Kremlin’s strike packages, but by their own reckoning failing to intercept any of Moscow’s ballistic missiles.

According to Ukrainian military announcements, the Russian Federation overnight from Thursday to Friday launched 99 long-range weapons at Ukraine. An estimated 58-60 were propeller-driven, Iranian-exported Shahed drones. Based on open-source air defense reports reviewed by Kyiv Post, Russian strike planners used the Shahed drones to probe and where possible spread thin Ukrainian air defenses.

The backbone of Moscow’s assault was 21 (or 23) X-101/X-555 cruise missiles and a smaller number of high-tech X-59 cruise missiles dropped by Tu-95MC turboprop bombers – the well-known Bear bomber from the Soviet era – flying over the Caspian Sea. The Ukrainians appear to have tracked the aircraft from takeoff deep inside Russia to their launch point, and the missiles’ flight across two-thirds of Ukraine. About half of the missiles appear to have been aimed at Ukrainian power grid infrastructure in the south, and the other half at power grid infrastructure in the east.

Dramatize the bad news even more to create sympathy for the Ukrainian ancestors of Hitler’s Helpers in World War II.

Oh come on, everybody knows that Ukraine detests the old Nazi ways in Ukraine. All of the BBC video investigations are just all Russian propaganda!

Enough of the Muskovite propaganda, here is how it looked from Ukraine's POV.

You're seriously not claiming that almost everything coming out of Ukraine is Baghdad Bob-level propaganda, are you?

It's time the Russians turned the lights out permanently in Kharkiv, emptied it out and took it over.

What’s to dissect? This is from Kiev and 99% of all missiles and drones were shot down.

Great point! 😂

The ancestors of any Ukrainian who fought in WW2 have been dead for 100 years. None of them are fighting for Ukraine today.

Pretty good picture quality for a hundred years old, huh? It doesn't look like Max is buying the Neo's bs.
