Russia on the Independence Day of Ukraine 200 (!) times lifted its planes into the air
It was because of this that there were so many air alerts since Russia produced many “dummy rockets.” The planes took off, and maneuvered in the air, simulating an impact – an air raid alarm was activated in Ukraine. In total, 8 Kh-22 missiles were hit in the regions.
The Air Force command said the Russians’ plan was to give the Ukrainians a nightmare and keep them on their toes on Independence Day, just ruining the holiday.
