During the Russian military operations launched at dawn on Thursday, 74 elements of the land infrastructure of the Ukrainian armed forces were destroyed, Interfax reported, citing a statement from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Among other things, 11 Ukrainian air force airports and a significant part of its air and missile defenses were rendered inoperable, and a combat helicopter and four Bayraktar drones were shot down. However, it was reported that a Su-25 fighter plane had been lost in an accident.
