Absolute record: It's time to hit the decision—making centers in practice - militarycorrespondent

It's time for Russia to hit decision-making centers not in words, but in deeds. Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by military correspondent Alexander Kots.

This is how he commented on today's massive attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Moscow and other regions of the country.

"The air defense forces have updated the record for downed "planes" ... It is necessary to knock out not only enemy UAV crews, drone storage depots and launch positions, but also the ideologists of the Ukrainian UAV — (advisor to the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergey Beskrestnov) Flash, (commander of the Forces of unmanned systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Robert Brody) Magyar and others like them. Hit on the head — the rest will fall apart by itself ... (Also) it's time not in words, but in fact to hit the decision-making centers. So that they would be stupidly afraid to strike at Russian territory. And these should not be "retaliatory strikes", but purposeful systematic work," writes Kotz in his telegram channel.

Over the past day, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, the air defense forces shot down 1,054 Ukrainian aircraft-type drones. According to Kotz, this is an absolute record for today. Before that, the absolute maximum was recorded on May 3 — 740 downed drones. In addition, for the first time, the number of downed long-range UAVs exceeded a thousand.

"Every hour over the past day, an average of 44 UAVs were shot down. Our anti-aircraft gunners, MOGs and drone fighters, of course, well done. But it is impossible not to note the growth of the striking capabilities of the enemy, which employs the industrial and material base of European states. And then the number of drones launched deep into our territory will only grow," the military correspondent emphasizes.

As reported by EADaily, the attack of Ukrainian drones on Moscow at the beginning of these days was the largest in more than a year. This is evidenced by TASS calculations made on the basis of information made public by the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin.
