"Kyiv has been under ballistic missile attacks for several days in a row. It's better to shoot down these missiles over Ukraine, rather than over Poland later." - said Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski.
And as soon as a missile actually flew into Poland, they suddenly decided they do want the missiles shot down over Ukraine after all.
SNAKE BITE: Designed as an expedient mass-produced interceptor, Ukraine’s Zimy (Snake) is a fixed wing interceptor designed to track and kill incoming Russian drones.

Approximate flight routes of our UAVs:

According to Russian sources, around 350 drones were reported, though these estimates and the displayed routes remain highly approximate.
It is reported that Russia is running out of missiles for "Iskander" systems, so the Kremlin is looking for replacements, - expert.
The president of the "Strategy XXI" Global Studies Center, Mikhail Gonchar, stated that Russia is increasingly using S-400 and "Tsirkon" missiles against ground targets, although they were originally designed to target air and sea targets.
According to him, this indicates a decrease in the stockpile of missiles for "Iskander" systems and is a consequence of Ukrainian strikes on enterprises involved in the production of the missiles and launch systems themselves.
Another 100 FPV drones delivered to the Black Raven Battalion!
That's the second batch of 100 in two weeks, at a cost of $53,438. Since the start of this project, we've delivered 350 drones to their pilots.
The number keeps growing. So does the pressure on the enemy.
Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.
‼️Where are the so called “anti-war” tankies in respect of the news regarding a ballistic missile unit from North Korea being sent to western russia for targeting our fellow Europeans in Ukraine?
This is mad shit. This should be a collective European red line.

🦅🇺🇦 In July alone, according to Sobyanin, 6,225 drones flew towards the Moscow region. Of these, 780 were shot down on the outskirts of Moscow, - DroneBomber
🔴Map 1 — pure downings.
🔴Map 2 — location of air defenses in Moscow and the region.
🔴Map 3 — overlaying one on top of the other.
Results:
🔴~1400 drones (≈93%) were shot down on the 1st and 2nd air defense lines in the region
🔴~100 drones (≈6%) — already in the 3rd line zone (ring around the Moscow Ring Road)
🔴in Moscow itself — as much as 1 (0.07%). One. One single drone.
Hit list:
🟢Dubna Space Communications Center
🟢Wildberries warehouses and logistics centers
🟢A couple of industrial zones and residential buildings from debris
If the tactic was to "lure out all the air defense missiles in this zone" — it failed. There are no free corridors.
