206 Shahed strike UAVs, 39 Kalibr cruise missiles, 37 Kh-101/555 cruise missiles and 2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles: Ukrainian air defence system destroyed more than 70% of Russian air targets in July

Monitoring group @war_monitor shared statistics of Russian shelling of Ukraine for July 2023.

Here's What We Know

From 01.07 to 31.07, 415 means of destruction were launched on the territory of Ukraine, including 150 missiles and 265 Shahed kamikaze strike drones. In total, the Ukrainian air defence system destroyed 206 UAVs (77.74%), as well as 39 out of 54 Kalibr cruise missiles (72.22%), 37 out of 41 Kh-101/555 cruise missiles (90.24%) and 2 out of 4 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles (50%). In addition, Russia fired 20 Onyx supersonic missiles and 17 Kh-22 hypersonic missiles at Ukraine. Unfortunately, none of them were shot down.

The overall success rate of the Ukrainian air defence forces is over 70%. The decrease in performance is affected by the use of Onyx, Kh-22, Kinzhal and Kalibr supersonic missiles. They are launched from submarines.
