Shelling of Kiev: why not all missiles were shot down, explained in the AFU


Today's shelling of Kiev, was one of the most massive that Russia has carried out.
Why not all missiles were shot down and how this attack differs from previous ones, explained the head of the communications department of the Air Force command of the AFU, Yuriy Ignat, on air of the Rada TV channel.
"We had 740 air targets - such an anti-record. Now we see 629 (data of missile fire on 28 August - ed.). But there are more missiles than then. And the enemy uses drones with jet engines more often. That is, high-speed UAVs, which were also present that night, were used in different directions... What is another feature of this attack? Here, perhaps the whole world should see the peculiarity of the attack is that two direct "arrivals" of cruise missiles into a residential building. It's just, I think, the whole world will be scrolling through these images," he said.
