Recent reports from the Ukrainian National Guard have shed light on the immense destruction caused by Russian planning bombs on the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF). The New York Times, in a revealing article, highlights the catastrophic impact of these bombs, weighing 500 kilograms and filled with explosive material. According to one witness, the sound of their impact is likened to the gates of hell opening. Even underground bunkers, a symbol of safety, provide no refuge against these devastating bombs.
The Ukrainian Air Force, responsible for the country’s air defense, has admitted its inability to protect the Ukrainian skies. Yuriy Ignat, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force, candidly acknowledged this limitation, leaving Ukraine vulnerable to Russian airstrikes.
In a recent statement, Valeriy Zaluzhny, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, revealed that the Russian Aerospace Forces targeted military factories and other strategic military installations in Ukraine. The extent of the damage inflicted on these facilities remains undisclosed.
The dire situation faced by Ukraine is further compounded by its struggle to counter the Russian weaponry being deployed. A senior colonel from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has reported the challenges posed by these sophisticated weapons, leaving Ukraine at a severe disadvantage.
As tensions escalate between Russia and Ukraine, it is evident that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing an uphill battle against the devastating impact of Russian planning bombs. The international community must take notice of this grave situation and support Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.
