Allies have provided Ukrainian forces with long-range weapons that cannot be discussed yet. With their help, 26 helicopters were destroyed within a day, states the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at a press conference.
"Partners have provided us with some long-range weapons. I won't say what, but our partners will understand. With it, we destroyed 26 helicopters in a day, and 12 planes that took off and attacked with missiles, against which these systems were working. We destroyed 12 at once. We just had the means," Zelenskyy says.
He clarifies that Ukraine used such weapons for defense. It was part of our country's defense, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed those who attacked and completely controlled the sky.
Destruction of Russian Su-34
A few weeks ago, Ukrainian defenders managed to shoot down three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers in one day. This happened in the Kherson region.
According to the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Air Force, Yurii Ihnat, such aircraft are among the newest in the Russian Federation's arsenal. Using the Su-34, the enemy strikes Ukraine with aerial bombs and missiles.
In addition, the Ukrainian military shot down another Su-34 and a Su-30 fighter-bomber in one day a few days later.
Russian Telegram channels complained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces allegedly used the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system to destroy them. However, Ukraine did not disclose the specific weaponry used to shoot down the enemy aircraft.
