4th December 2023
On the night of December 4, the Russian invaders attacked Ukraine with 23 Shahed war drones and a guided missile. Ukraine's air defenses shot down most of them. Ukraine's Air Force downed 18 of the 23 Shaheds and a missile used by Russia to attack Ukraine, according to its report.
At 2.22 p.m., Russian invading troops launched Shahed attack drones from Cape Chauda in the occupied Crimea. The drones flew to the west of the country, and at 3.34 p.m., an air alert was announced in the Zakarpattia region, which borders Hungary and Slovakia.
"Fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units, and mobile fire groups of the Air Force and the Defense Forces of Ukraine were involved in repelling the air attack," the Ukrainian Air Force summed up.
Thanks to experienced air defense units and the modern air defense systems supplied to Ukraine by Western partners, Russian air attacks are repelled. However, Russians still cause damage as the drone launches are massive and target the entire Ukraine.
