The Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the number of missiles and drones shot down by Russia in July.

Russian occupiers do not calm down and continue to attack Ukraine with various types of aerial targets. However, our military is not sitting idle and effectively eliminates the enemy's missiles and drones. Throughout July, the armed forces destroyed 6262 aerial targets of the occupiers, including cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, guided aviation missiles, other missile systems, and drones. At the same time, the Ukrainian aviation conducted nearly 800 flight sorties, providing fighter cover and fire damage to the enemy. According to reports from the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in July there was a need to repel 72 strike drones and decoy drones launched by the occupiers. The expressed increase in the number of drones for attack indicates a growing tension in the region.
