Russian forces delivered a massive retaliatory strike by precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles against Ukrainian energy and military-industrial sites, disorganizing Ukraine’s arms industry and eliminating foreign military hardware, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Friday.
ReplyDeleteRussian President Vladimir Putin said earlier that the enemy’s strikes against Russia’s territory during the presidential election would trigger a retaliatory strike.
"The Russian Armed Forces delivered a massive strike by air-launched, seaborne and ground-based long-range precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles against energy and military-industrial facilities, railway hubs, arsenals, deployment sites of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries. The strike disorganized the operation of enterprises producing and repairing armaments, military hardware and ammunition. All the goals of the massive strike were achieved," the ministry said in a statement.
Russia’s massive retaliatory strike wiped out foreign military equipment and weapons delivered to Ukraine from NATO countries, disrupted the deployment of the enemy’s reserves to the frontline and destroyed formations of the Ukrainian army and mercenaries in their refit areas, it specified.
