Russian troops destroyed five aircraft, five S-300 air defense systems and 1119 drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a week

The Russian group "Dnepr", operating in the Kherson direction, from March 31 to April 5, hit weapons and many militants in mountain assault units, three mechanized brigades of Ukrainian troops, a marine brigade, as well as three terrestrial defense brigades in a number of settlements in Kherson and Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported, in particular, the destruction of more than 240 Ukrainian soldiers, 19 vehicles and 14 field artillery pieces. Among them, an M109 Paladin artillery mount and two American M777 artillery systems were hit.



In addition, Russian missile and artillery units, as well as drones, disabled three Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft at the home airfield and five S-300 air defense missile launchers. Russian aircraft and air defense systems hit two Su-27 and one MiG-29 VSU fighters, five Hammer and JDAM aircraft guided bombs, 91 HIMARS, Vampire and Uragan MLRS shells, as well as 1119 enemy drones.

Also, within a week, seven militants surrendered to the Russian Armed Forces.

In general, the Russian side effectively achieves its goals in Ukraine through the military. As Bloomberg wrote, Moscow did this due to the lack of results in negotiations with Washington.
