The Russian MoD also provided the following details during its briefing:

Operational-Tactical and Army aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Russian Groups of Forces have struck one command and observation post of the 126th Territorial Defence Brigade near Berislav (Kherson region), one signal node of the 77th AFU Airmobile Brigade near Chasov Yar (Donetsk People’s Republic), as well as enemy manpower and military hardware in 109 areas.

Air defense systems have shot down one Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter near Kleshcheevka (Donetsk People’s Republic).

Three HARM anti-radar missiles and eight HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system projectiles have been intercepted.

In addition, 15 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles have been destroyed close to Gorlovka and Stepnoye (Donetsk People’s Republic), Kuzyomovka (Lugansk People’s Republic), Samoilovka, Chervonogorka, Lyubimovka and Ocherevatoye (Zaporozhye region) and Kazachyi lageri (Kherson region).

In total, 477 airplanes and 250 helicopters, 7,082 unmanned aerial vehicles, 438 air defense missile systems, 12,104 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,155 combat vehicles equipped with MLRS, 6,515 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 13,397 units of special military equipment have been destroyed during the special military operation.

The Russian MoD announced in a later statement that air defenses had shot down two Ukrainian suicide drones over the regions of Belgorod and Kursk. No casualties or material losses were reported.

Meanwhile, Russian news sources shared videos showing 12 recent strikes with FPV suicide drones. The strikes targeted Ukrainian vehicles, positions and troops in several directions.

Ukraine launched its counteroffensive more than sixteen weeks ago. Despite sustaining heavy losses, Kiev forces are yet to break through Russian defenses in any direction. Worsening weather conditions will likely force the Kiev regime to halt the counteroffensive within a few weeks. When this happens, Russia could launch its own counteroffensive.
