There were a total of 33 aerial targets, including 12 sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles, two P-800 Onyx anti-ship missiles, and 19 Shahed 136\/131 drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need to bolster [air defenses] in the south. Onyx missiles are difficult to shoot down. There are ways to counter them, but missile defenses are useless against them. The missiles are hypersonic and flight at low altitude. Existing air defenses are useless against these missiles,\u201d Ihnat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
