On the Independence Day of Ukraine, Russian aviation made about 200 sorties. But the frequency of missile strikes against aviation was low.

Yesterday there were about 190 air raid alerts in Ukrainian regions. Yuri Ignat explained that, despite such a large number of alarms, no large missile activity was recorded. Large aviation activity was recorded. About 200 sorties were recorded on August 24, he said. He explained a large number of concerns by the fact that Russia made many “imitation sorties.” Mostly from the Shaikovka airfield, where Tu-22s are stationed, and from the north of the Caspian Sea, where Tu-95 TZs are stationed. The planes took off, made maneuvers in the air, simulating a strike. Then an air alert was announced in Ukraine. An interesting fact. According to Ignat, if Tu-95 or Tu-160 activity is detected, then the alarm is announced throughout Ukraine, and if Tu-22 aircraft – at a distance of up to 600 km, corresponding to the range of Kh-22 missiles. The air force suggested that the Russians' plan was to keep Ukrainians on their toes on Independence Day.How did the enemy attack Ukraine on Independence Day
