On February 18, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.
Eight 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.
Another video shows a combined strike with a Lancet loitering munition and Tornado-S guided artillery rockets that targeted a drone control center of Kiev forces close to the settlement of Bereza in the direction of Sumy.
Two more videos show recent airstrikes with UMPK-equipped FAB-500 guided glide bombs that hit Ukrainian positions in the settlements of Veterinarnoe and Okhrimovka in the Kharkiv direction.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile, drone and artillery strikes targeted “a fuel depot, energy facilities used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, preparation and launch sites of long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed forces and foreign mercenaries in 141 areas” over the last 24 hours.
The ministry also said that Russian air defenses shot down two guided aerial bombs, 11 HIMARS rockets, and 334fixed-wing drones during the same period.
According to the ministry, Kiev forces have lost 670 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 115,131 drones, 650 air defense systems, 27,754 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,666 multiple rocket launchers, 33,347 artillery pieces, and 54,691 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.
