The Russian army general stressed that during the previous missile attacks, ultrasonic weapons were used for the first time in combat conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine has exhausted the capabilities of the supplied weapons, said a Ukrainian official in Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian General clarified that throughout the operations, Russian attack drones hit more than 600 Ukrainian targets, while the regular Air Force destroyed more than 11 thousand weapon systems and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian high-precision long-range missiles hit more than 1,300 critical targets on Ukrainian soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Gerasimov emphasized that since February, Western countries have already supplied the Kiev regime with more than 350 tanks, 700 artillery systems, 100 rocket launchers, 30 helicopters, at least five thousand drones, thousands of armored vehicles, at least 800 armored vehicles and 5.3 thousand MANPADS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All this is aimed at prolonging the conflict,&#8221; he added. According to the Russian A\/GES, now the contact line has been extended for 815 kilometers, and the situation there has stabilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The main efforts of our troops are focused on completing the liberation of Donetsk territory,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As emphasized by the Russian Ministry of Defense, warehouses with foreign weapons will become legal targets for Russian fighters and missiles in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date, the Armed Forces of Ukraine actively use a wide variety of weapons for their attacks, perhaps only avoiding strikes using the HIMARS and MLRS systems, since the supply of these weapons by the American side was based on the condition that such weapons will not be used against Russia&#8217;s generally recognized territory, but with the impending receipt of the US-sanctioned Patriot all that changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russians will not stop attacking until they achieve the goals they have set themselves, and this seems to be very dangerous now for the whole of Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian Chief of Staff General Valery Gerasimov described the Kinzhal missiles as invulnerable to Western and Ukrainian air defense systems, hinting that fierce missile&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2362,7,3830],"tags":[58,1156,1976,3395],"class_list":["post-11792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military-science","category-research","category-war-in-ukraine","tag-russia","tag-ukraine","tag-war","tag-war-in-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11792"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11794,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11792\/revisions\/11794"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
