During the missile attack on Ukraine on March 9, the Russian invaders launched missiles from all possible directions and

used

six supersonic "Dagger" missiles at once, which had never happened before.

Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told

about this on the air of the national

telethon "Edyny Novyny".

"The enemy used a wide range of weapons today - almost all missiles, with which they often strike separately, and today they decided to carry out a massive missile attack. This is done in order to distract the attention of air defense," Ignat said.

He noted that the enemy was shelling the country from three seas, including the Caspian Sea.

The aggressors used various types of aircraft for shelling, as well as ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

"Missiles that our air defense does not have the means to shoot down - 13 S-300 missiles, from which the front-line territories actually suffer every day, 6 Kinzhal missiles, because of the MiG-31 there is an ongoing alarm in Ukraine every day, which some people are already ignoring," he said spokesman for the Air Force Command.

Ignat said that the enemy does not have many Dagger missiles, according to the latest information, they had about 50, 6 of which they used during the attack on March 9.

"The missiles that do not go astray in our country also include 8 anti-radar Kh-31 and Kh-59, which did not achieve their goals. The goal of the invaders was to hit the means of air defense. Also, the Kh-22 is the most destructive missile, the warhead of 950 kg "Unfortunately, today we cannot intercept these missiles either," he summarized.
