What we know

According to the lieutenant general, Ukrainian air defense units have shot down more than 530 Rascist air targets since the beginning of the full-scale war. If we count all Russian air losses (144 cruise missiles, 217 aircraft, 186 helicopters and 653 drones), SAMs account for about 25%.

By the way, a lieutenant general of the AFU also confirmed in the video that Ukraine will receive new weapons from its partners in the near future. With a great share of probability we are talking about the Norwegian SAM system NASAMS. Its deliveries were recently announced by the White House.
