The Russian Ministry of Defense has reported that its air defense systems successfully intercepted a total of 33 projectiles, including “Olha” and HIMARS rockets, four HARM anti-radiation missiles, and one JDAM guided bomb within a week. According to TASS, the defense ministry stated, “During the week, our air defense systems intercepted 33 rocket projectiles from the HIMARS and ‘Olha’ multiple rocket launcher systems, one JDAM guided bomb, and four HARM anti-radiation missiles.”
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that its air defense systems had shot down 11 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory. It was specified that these air defense systems destroyed one drone over the Kaluga region and 10 drones over the Kursk region. On September 29th, Roman Starovoyt, the governor of the Kursk region, revealed that a Ukrainian drone had dropped two explosive devices on a substation in the village of Belaya in the Belovsk district. As a result, one of the transformers caught fire, leading to power outages in five settlements and a hospital.
It is worth noting that Russia has recently developed a new drone suppression system to counter such threats.
The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has seen continuous military engagements, with both sides accusing each other of aggression. The interception of these projectiles by Russian air defense systems highlights the escalating tensions in the region. This incident raises concerns about the potential consequences of the conflict and the need for a peaceful resolution.
