Russian invasion of Ukraine

Seems like a massive own goal by russia the past 24 hours, the attacks cost over 1 billion and has helped unite Ukraines allies again and get them in the news.
Yeah....."saturation attack"....designed to overload the Air Defence with more targets than they can shoot down.
Question is...how many Air Defence Systems do Ukraine have?
110 Missiles fired.....87 shot down.
36 Iranian Drones launched.....27 shot down....i would not call that an overload...and how many they got left.
Also a friend asked,"Can F-16 fire Harpoon Missiles" :)
Ukraine have "Block 1D Harpoon" by the way.

Heroyam Slava.
 
This was the Russian scum’s largest attack. Almost 160 missiles and drones. Our warriors shot down most of them. Usual Russian targets: over 100 destroyed or damaged private houses, 45 multi-story residential buildings, schools, two churches, hospitals, a maternity ward, and many commercial and storage facilities. As of now, at least 30 people have been reported killed. My condolences to their close ones. Over 150 people have been injured, and all of them are receiving the necessary assistance. It’s important that the world responds to this terror. Many leaders have expressed their support for Ukraine and Ukrainians, and I thank each one of them. Especially those who helped our state with air defense. Today, our air defense warriors accomplished a lot. We will continue to strengthen our air defense and work to return war back to where it came from—to Russia.

**Didn't realise the wording makes me sound like an ITK haha just copy pasted from a telegram it isn't my info.


Awaiting confirmation, a Russian strategic bomber Tu-22M3 has been downed as it prepped to launch.

If true, it's a whole new game.

The West hasn't allowed Ukraine to hit these because "over Russian territory" rules for losing.

Fingers crossed, though often these sorts of reports have ended up being just Russian incompetence.

I said similar yesterday, before the attack, it's a huge waste of resources they won't be able to replace, and whilst it might be "moral sapping" for the Ukraine citizens, hitting hospitals, residential areas, and shopping malls, and losing a considerable number shot down anyway, you just wonder what the point is, if it's "revenge" for one lost ship (as it appears to be) then it becomes even more pointless.

Sorry for the people who have lost their lives or their homes obviously.
