The Russian Federation conducted the largest ever mass attack utilizing Iranian-made Shahed suicide drone on Dec. 19, Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat stated during a briefing on Dec. 20.
“Yesterday, as you know, was St. Nicholas Day,” Ihant said.
“The racsists (Russian fascists -ed.) greeted us with one of the largest Shahed shellings by number... 35 assault UAVs were released across Ukraine.”
Ihnat noted this is the first attack with the use of this many drones.
Ukrainian forces have already shot down 67 Shahed drones since Dec. 7, Ihnat said.
He added that the invaders are now launching drones from a different location – instead of Crimea and Kherson Oblast, Shahed launch points have been moved to Russia’s Krasnodar Krai region.
