On December 18, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.
Nine of the videos show dozens of attacks with FPV suicide drones, grenade-dropping drones, and interceptor drones that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment, across several directions within the special military operation zone over the last few days.
Another video shows a series of rocket attacks on positions of Kiev forces near the city of Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk direction and Huliaipole in the direction of Zaporozhye.
Two more videos show recent airstrikes with UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs that hit Ukrainian troops in the settlement of Rodynske in Donetsk, and the settlement of Vilcha in the direction of Kharkiv.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile, drone and artillery strikes hit “energy infrastructure in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, long-range attack drone teams and storage areas, as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed groups and foreign mercenaries in 149 areas” over the past 24 hours.
The ministry also said that Russian air defenses intercepted 216 fixed-wing drones which were launched by Kiev forces during the same period.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kiev forces have lost 669 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 103,758 drones, 640 air defense systems, 26,591 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,633 multiple rocket launchers, 31,994 artillery pieces, and 49,358 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.
