Russian air defense neutralized five Ukrainian drones attempting to attack Smolensk

Massive attack by Ukrainian drones today was attempted on Smolensk, Russian air defense "landed" five drones aircraft type. The regional authorities reported this.

In total, the air defense neutralized five Ukrainian drones, some of them were shot down by air defense systems, others were suppressed by electronic warfare systems. As the head of the region, Vasily Anokhin, emphasized, there was no destruction or casualties on the ground. Currently, emergency services are working at the sites where drone debris fell. It is clarified that there were two attacks; at around 9:00 three drones were intercepted, and an hour later two more.

(...) The Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to carry out several terrorist attacks on the Smolensk region using UAVs. In total, 5 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles were suppressed by air defense and electronic warfare forces of the Ministry of Defense over Smolensk and its suburbs

- said the governor.

According to available data, Ukrainian military formations attacked Smolensk using UJ-22 aircraft-type drones with external fuel tanks, otherwise they would not have reached the city, the distance is too great. It is assumed that this attack is aimed primarily at intimidating the civilian population. Kyiv wants to show that it can reach any point with its drones, despite its remoteness from Ukrainian territory. In general, this is an attempt to show that Ukraine will respond to attacks on its territory.

Meanwhile, this morning one Ukrainian aircraft-type drone was intercepted in the Sochi area.

But what’s the point, as long as they have electricity and fuel, this will not stop. It is so difficult to destroy the entire energy system, it has already been shown that this is quite possible, the question is why they are not doing this now.

It was in vain that they attacked Smolensk. There is a whole academy of air defense specialists there. Slingshots will knock you down with concentrated fire.

Massive Ukrainian drones attacked Smolensk today, Russian air defense "grounded" five drones aircraft type.

This is a massive mass of about 200 pieces. So far, only a sample of the pen.

So they fly not so much to damage houses or a bridge (although partly for this purpose). More like propaganda.

In Smolensk and the region there are objects that are critical for us, nuclear power plants, aircraft manufacturing and equipment manufacturing enterprises. It’s good that they didn’t make it. But if they use it en masse, who knows, there is no impenetrable air defense

Actually, the drone could be brought here in parts, then assembled and launched! Did you find these PTBs? Until you find them, you shouldn’t fool yourself and think that the drones are launched from Russian territory!

Can. And it’s not for nothing that Budanov boasted that the Main Intelligence Directorate has the ability (including undercover ones) to launch drones from Russian territory. But in this case, the drones were UJ-22 aircraft type.

At 8:00 there was an attempt to attack objects in Adler. The drone was shot down by air defense forces. It was not a bad sound. I was just at the facility where I work. Vacationers will post a video of any kind. Let the media tell what worked on it. They probably muted it with electronic warfare, in the wrong direction flew away and fell. And it was worth so much sawing over the sea.

Attack on Smolensk

On October 1, Smolensk was attacked by Ukrainian drones. Readovka67 subscribers were worried about the absence of an air raid warning before the raid. We asked the city administration to explain why the signal did not work.

“The fact is that an air raid signal is given only if a populated area is threatened aviation or a missile strike. Now the situation is under control, we ask you to remain calm,” the press service of the city mayor Alexander Novikov said.

The air raid signal calls for people to go down to basements and bomb shelters. In this case there was no alarm. Is an air attack by drones not an air strike?

The Armed Forces will not receive any funding from the United States in the near future, just what was agreed upon earlier
At the same time, Russia is negotiating with North Korea
Biden has already chosen all the American warehouses; it’s probably going to go down the drain if the Senate finds out, they’ll kick him out

These drones attacked but were unsuccessful. Thanks to our air defense officers.
Authors! Why do you regularly underestimate the effectiveness of our actions?
I tried to attack - when I got ready, I just stuck my muzzle out of the trench, and then suddenly there was a massive artillery shelling.
And when I ran through most of the draw, I pulled the pin, but didn’t have time to throw it, because “that’s all,” this is an attack. And our attack was repelled. But something didn’t work out for the girls.

What are you writing?
Everything needed for war comes from abroad.
And as long as these supplies continue, the war will not stop.
As long as there is at least some interest from Western powers in this.
And the advisers of NATO countries plan these attacks based on their satellite data.

Wow, friends and not friends!
Everyone expresses smart thoughts, although according to the logic of things the opposite does not exist, thoughts by definition are already smart, but there are nuances:
I am sure that it would be incorrect to give out our military secrets to the enemies, and on the forum there are a lot of professionals and CIPSot, which filters important and unimportant thoughts and transmits them where they are told, and our task is only to enrich them with misinformation (disinformation - the fog of war), I think , something like this!
I have the honor.

You say super air defense in Smolensk. I remember the firefighters' fire school burned down. This war should have ended long ago.
