On Tuesday morning, July 28, Moscow and the region began to be tested by drones – around 5 a.m., the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin, reported that more than 10 UAVs had been shot down, but that was only the beginning, according to Sobyanin's Telegram, OSINT channels, and Russian public pages.
Drones over Moscow
"Twelve UAVs flying toward Moscow were destroyed by the air defense system of the Ministry of Defense. Emergency services specialists are working at the crash site of the debris," the mayor reported at 4:38 AM.
After that, there were five more messages in which Sobyanin reported on the fight against enemy drones that had surrounded Moscow from all sides. In total, Russian air defense had to deal with about a hundred drones.
The mayor of the Russian capital wrote his last message about the drones at 5:42 AM.
Drones in the region and fires
In addition to Moscow, drones also struck targets in the surrounding region — specifically, due to the activity of the aircraft, a Wildberries logistics center caught fire, and a factory was also burning.
This refers to the enterprise ZAT Gidrostalkonstruktsiya in Chekhov — a drone fell into/hit a pipe on the factory's premises.
