Russian Defense Ministry Assess Ukraine's Losses: Weekly Report
Since June, Ukraine has launched its long-announced counteroffensive, which was repeatedly delayed by a lack of military supplies from Western donors. Zelensky later admitted that the operation is developing "slower than desired". US officials recently announced that the first batch of M1 Abrams tanks will be delivered to Kiev in mid-September.
The Russian Army destroyed two fighter aircraft, three assault planes and a Ukrainian helicopter in one week, according to a new report from the Defense Ministry. In addition, 12 semi-submersible unmanned boats were struck in the Black Sea and 270 drones were shot down.
Between September 9 and 16, the Russian Armed Forces carried out 11 group strikes with high-precision and long-range weapons based at sea and in the air, as well as with drones, on
Ukrainian port infrastructure, but also at ammunition and fuel depots, drone launch production workshops, ammunition and Western weapons warehouses and troop stationing centers, it said this Saturday.
As a result, the material supply of several Ukrainian units, as well as deliveries of Western weapons, were disrupted. A large arsenal of Ukrainian-engineered
munitions was also razed.
Russian aircraft struck an airfield in the Dnepropetrovsk region, destroying two MiG-29 fighters and three Su-25 assault aircraft, and downing a Mi-8 helicopter.
Twelve semi-submersible drones were detected and struck in the Black Sea along with three speedboats carrying landing groups, the press release added.
Russia's air defenses intercepted 19 HIMARS multiple rocket launcher projectiles and 270 Ukrainian
drones.
