The Ministry of Defense reported on the work of air defense in June: how many targets were destroyed

Ukrainian air defense forces in June destroyed about 89% of the air targets that Russia used during massive attacks.

This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to the department, during the month the Russian army launched almost 6 thousand missiles and drones into Ukraine, of which Ukrainian air defense shot down almost 5.3 thousand.

In particular, about 90% of Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmas attack drones were destroyed, as well as 90% of cruise missiles, including Caliber, Iskander-K, and Kh-101.

At the same time, the interception efficiency of ballistic missiles was 40%. This includes, in particular, missiles of the Iskander, Kinzhal, 48N6DM types and others.

The Ministry of Defense emphasized that ballistic missiles remain the biggest challenge for Ukrainian air defense. To intercept them, a sufficient number of PAC-3 missiles for Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems is needed.

The department also noted that Ukraine, together with international partners, continues to work on strengthening air defense and called on allies to transfer interceptor missiles to protect critical infrastructure.

It was previously reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a series of talks during the NATO summit, dedicated, in particular, to strengthening the Ukrainian air defense system .
