On December 30, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.

11 of the videos show a series of drone attacks that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment, including other drones, across several directions within the special military operation zone over the last few days.

An additional video shows a strike by a Lancet loitering munition on an American-made M113 armored personnel carrier somewhere in the Dnipropetrovsk direction.

Two other videos from the Zaporozhye direction show airstrikes with UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs on Ukrainian positions close to the city of Huliaipole and an attack with a Tornado-S guided artillery rocket on a house occupied by Kiev forces in the settlement of Pridorozhnoye.

In its daily briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that missile, drone and artillery strikes hit “energy facilities used in the interests of the Ukrainian defense industry, temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries in the 150 areas” over the past 24 hours.

The ministry also said that Russian air defenses shot down during the same period three HIMARS artillery rockets and 18 fixed-wing drones.

According to the ministry, Kiev forces have lost 669 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 105,823 drones, 641 air defense systems, 26,796 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,634 multiple rocket launchers, 32,260 artillery pieces, and 50,404 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.
