"This costs Ukrainians blood every day": Kovalenko assesses Russian missile strikes and criticizes partners

In November, the Russian army launched 22 missiles of various types, with only 8 of them intercepted.

Military and political analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko shared this data.

Thus, the occupiers launched:

• Kh-59/69: 13 missiles

• Kh-31P: 2 missiles

• 9M723 "Iskander-M": 3 missiles

• Unidentified type: 4 missiles

Air defense forces managed to intercept only 8 of the Kh-59/69 missiles.

"Particularly attention is drawn to the high use of missiles by the occupiers' tactical aviation which take off from airbases located in a 300-kilometer zone from the border with Ukraine to perform combat missions," Kovalenko said.

The same zone, Ukraine never received permission to launch strikes with long-range Western missile weapons, and US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin even noted that there were no objects in this zone that made sense to strike.

"Every insincere word from our 'partners' justifying their lack of initiative and resolve costs Ukrainians blood every day," the analyst said.
