For more than a week, Russia has been conducting long-range attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with cruise missiles and kamikaze drones every day.

According to the Ukrainians, Russian forces have so far launched hundreds of Iranian cruise missiles and kamikaze drones, but many of them were intercepted. Some were even effectively intercepted even by the Ukrainian military in the field from shoulder mounts of anti-aircraft missiles.

Despite this, many other Russian missiles and kamikaze drones hit their targets and managed to hit more than 30% of Ukrainian power plants.

The IRIS-T anti-aircraft complex is already operating near Kyiv

A video on Wednesday shows a Russian cruise missile hitting a thermal power plant near Kyiv. In the background you can see a factory that appears to have been hit earlier as a cruise missile flies over it and quickly heads for its target.

At some point, the missile is intercepted in the air by Ukrainian anti-aircraft systems. It is currently unclear what the Russian cruise missile was intercepted with, whether it was a Ukrainian system, or whether the new IRS-T system, donated by Germany, was in operation, especially since there is already evidence that the IRIS-T system was active. in the area of ​​the Ukrainian capital.
