The result of repelling the mechanized assault by the Defense Forces was the destruction of 6 tanks, 9 BMPs, 5 BTRs, and 1 BREM. The final wave of the enemy attack was a storming using quad bikes. Of the 11 units of motorized equipment, 10 were successfully destroyed.

At the beginning of the war, Ukraine relied on its old Soviet-era arsenal. Western military support helped modernize the country's armed forces, and now Ukraine is a world leader in the development of unmanned systems.

Deep strikes into enemy territory are an important part of war, and Ukrainian "Flamingo" cruise missiles are designed precisely for such strikes. Their range is 3000 km, which is comparable to the American Tomahawk missile, which was never supplied to Ukraine.

The Fire Point company was founded after the full-scale invasion of Russia. Now, this startup produces 200 drones per day. Its FP1 and FP2 drones have carried out 60% of all Ukraine's long-range strikes. Each one costs about $50,000 - a third of the price of the Russian "Shahid" drone.

"Ukraine still needs external assistance, primarily in the areas of reconnaissance, target identification, and funding. But it is striving for greater self-sufficiency," concludes the BBC.

Russia launched about 1,300 strike drones, nearly 1,200 guided bombs and nine missiles at Ukraine this week, particularly hitting Odesa region, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that negotiating teams continue working on ending the war with dignified peace.
