The drone attack, which was carried out at night, made it possible to establish the existing air defense areas that provide protection for the Ukrainian capital. A few hours later, cruise missiles were also launched along already established routes, which were able to successfully evade the radars of most air defense facilities. Because of this, the strikes were a great success, despite the Ukrainian military command's claims that almost all of the missiles were shot down. https://t.me/aviapro1/16082 It is known that on the night of January 25-26, a large number of strike drones were launched toward Ukraine. We are not talking about massive strikes, although a number of targets were successfully hit. However, thanks to the drones, it was possible to successfully establish all the deployment areas of Ukrainian air defenses. Just a few hours later, cruise missiles were also successfully launched along routes free of Ukrainian air defenses, which made it possible to successfully strike Odessa, Kiev, Vinnitsa, Kherson, Dnepropetrovsk, Lvov and other regions of Ukraine. https://t.me/aviapro1/16130 Experts note that the air defenses may not have been targeted because it would have required a certain number of missiles, so it was simply decided to bypass the air defense deployment areas https://avia.pro/news/rossiyskie-bespilotniki-vskryli-ukrainskie-sredstva-pvo-oboronyayushchie-kiev-provedya-nochnoy
