F-16s Scrambled to Protect NATO Airspace as Russia Launches Record-Size Drone and Missile Assault on Ukraine

[Hol]

Russia continued its near-weekly streak of breaking the record for the largest air raid of its war against Ukraine, launching nearly 750 strikes overnight, prompting NATO to scramble fighter jets to protect European air-space from rogue munitions.

Ukraine says it largely defeated a mammoth Russian air raid over night into Wednesday, with its air force saying in a statement that Moscow launched nearly 750 drones and missiles against its territory. The city of Lutsk, the capital of the Volyn Oblast in Ukraine’s far-west was stated to be the target of almost all the strikes.

The regional administrator said: “Last night, the region came under a massive attack once again. Almost everything was directed at Lutsk”.

Ukraine said it detected 728 bomb drones and decoys, seven Iskander missiles, and six Kinzhal missiles. 303 of these weapons were shot down by Ukrainian air defences and jet interceptors, and 415 were brought down by other means, including electronic warfare.

Thread 'F-16s Scrambled as Russian Missile Enters NATO Airspace'

Mar 25, 2024

In a sign of the dangers Russia’s continuing invasion of Ukraine pose, Poland, a NATO member, scrambled F-16 fighter jets after a Russian missile strayed briefly into Polish airspace during a major missile attack on Ukraine.

It was Russia’s third big missile attack on Ukraine in the past four days, and the second to target the capital, Kyiv.

The governor of the Lviv region, Maksym Kozytskyi, said on the Telegram platform that critical infrastructure was hit, but he didn’t specify what precisely was struck. No deaths or injuries were reported.

Fighters will go airborne anytime there's warring near a country's border. It's referred to as National Defense.
