THE OVAL CIRCLE

📝Strike on Moscow📝 how drones and missiles flew toward the capital The Ukrainian attack on the capital region was planned over the course of nearly a month. Since early September, the AFU sent groups of UAVs toward the capital almost daily to identify current air defense positions and neutralize them. In the lead-up to the actual strike, intensity increased, and Western satellite constellations began daily monitoring of strategic facilities in Moscow and the Moscow Region, including the Moscow Refinery and CHP-22, which became targets of the night strike. 🖍The enemy attack proceeded in waves across three groups, primarily via a route through Bryansk Region. The first wave, as expected, consisted of decoy drones that depleted air defense systems. From the ground it's difficult to tell which UAV is flying (with a warhead or not), so everything has to be shot down. By the 3rd and 4th waves, the AFU launched their main strike UAVs, which approached Moscow from the west, south, and east. And in coordination with them, the AFU also launched 10 Flamingo cruise missiles, 9 of which were shot down before reaching Moscow. 🚩Moreover, the enemy launched one of the missiles via a route through Odintsovo and residential neighborhoods of the Moscow Region and capital, so that if it were hit, debris with a large warhead would fall on residential buildings (this is worth noting regarding regularly encountered claims like "They're our brothers!"). As a result of the entire attack, according to the latest data, air defense units recorded no fewer than 1,300 unmanned aircraft, of which only 11 could not be shot down. Both air defense systems and army and fighter aviation participated in the defense. ❗️Today is not yet over, and the enemy is preparing for a new strike (they accumulated supplies over about a month), so it's too early to relax. But what is certain: strikes on the Ukrainian capital and surrounding areas will resume in the near future with renewed force and intensity, and it's time to think about more systematic destruction of their energy infrastructure. 📍High-resolution map #Moscow #Russia #Ukraine ✈ RU | ✈ EN | ✉ MAX ✉ VK | ✉ RuTube | ✉
