Russian Air Attacks on Ukraine

Russian forces have repeatedly attacked Ukraine with large waves of Shahed-type drones, decoys such as Gerbera and Parodiya, S8000 Banderol munitions, and other missiles launched from Russia and occupied Ukrainian territory.

Ukraine responds with fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missile units, electronic warfare, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups, often intercepting or suppressing most reported targets while some weapons strike populated areas and infrastructure. The subject links the mechanics of the air campaign with its human and operational consequences, including casualties, debris, damage, and disruptions across Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions.
