Civilian casualties confirmed (25+ for now).

Russians bombers landing (launches are over).

We're quickly approaching the end of this strike (within 15 minutes or so of this toot).

Russian supporting social media very quiet so far.

Ukrainian Air Force claims to have downed 15 Kh-101/555 cruise missiles out of 18 launched by Russian bombers overnight.

The claimed air launched missile numbers are consistent with the number of bombers that took off, although a little low. This indicates that once again either not all of the Russian missiles fired, or some of the bombers took off with less than a full load.

@Render do you think there's patriot systems in place already?

it would be unfortunate for those bombers to run into their range

@elmaxx Yes.

@Render 🤞🏻

@Render that depends on your news source. It’s possible Russian state media will say all missiles hit their targets and were so effective, that after they hit their assigned target they auto reassembled themselves and hit other targets that were planned in the future.

@Render Slow and steady wins the race here. Russia isn't using good planning nor strategy. UA is all comfy watching the fireworks. Mostly.

@Render If there was a way to get in the heads of the opposition it should be done. By all means.

@Render 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Render This feels a lot like “Saddam’s Scuds vs. Patriot Missile Batteries” from the first Gulf War.

@Render the Ukrainian people must be so weary. I don’t even want to imagine .. it hurts just to know and be unable to do anything about it.

@Render 👍
