Daniel DavisHOST
But that doesn't mean that they're completely impervious in the sky.
Daniel DavisHOST
They actually have a fairly developed, integrated air defense system that can get slower stuff, like these KH-101 cruise missiles, for example.
Daniel DavisHOST
Overnight, the report is that all of the ones that the Russians fired were intercepted.
Daniel DavisHOST
And that could be true because they have the capability with a lot of, different because those are subsonic missiles.
Darren GerdesHOST
142 out of 166 attack drones.
Darren GerdesHOST
31 out of 32 KH-101 and Iskander cruise missiles, but two out of who knows how many Iskanders or whatever kind of ballistic and hypersonic missiles.
Darren GerdesHOST
That's the open question.
Darren GerdesHOST
Jason J.
Darren GerdesHOST
Two out of I don't know how many ballistic missiles.
Darren GerdesHOST
That's really the key.
Darren GerdesHOST
30 to 40 KH-101 cruise missiles launch.
Darren GerdesHOST
Well, it turned out to be 32.
Mario NawfalHOST
A large-scale Russian aerial attack is expected against Ukraine tonight with Kiev and Kiev Oblast facing the highest threat with the Lviv Oblast also potentially targeted.
Mario NawfalHOST
Current estimates suggest the potential use of hundreds of drones, up to 40 cruise missiles, and 35 to 50 ballistic and hypersonic missiles, up to eight TU, they talk about the different bombers that could be participating, potentially carrying as many as 60 KH-101 cruise missiles with four TU-160 bombers in the air right now, flying from East Russia to West Russia for their launch.
Mario NawfalHOST
launch lines.
Mario NawfalHOST
Juran-4 jet drones are expected to continue operating ahead of the main strike to wear out air defense systems protecting the capital.
Wojciech OleksiakHOST
Russia denies responsibility for every single incursion and they keep happening.
Wojciech OleksiakHOST
Then at the end of July, an armed Russian Kh-101 cruise missile crossed into Polish airspace.
Wojciech OleksiakHOST
And, you know, when it came down in the field, it left a crater 10 meters across.
Wojciech OleksiakHOST
So it's like no joke.
Preston StewartHOST
That's what we're starting to see more and more likely from Russia.
Preston StewartHOST
We had a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile that entered Polish airspace back on July 29th.
Preston StewartHOST
It sounds like more and more the evidence supports that that was intended to strike in Poland.
Preston StewartHOST
Again, according to Malcontent News, they said privately Polish officials believe the incident was meant to test NATO's air defenses.
Daniel DavisHOST
There was again missiles that were fired last night into, uh, into Kyiv.
Daniel DavisHOST
And weirdly enough, they claim that, I think there were 31 KH-101 cruise missiles that were fired, and they claim all 31 were knocked out.
Daniel DavisHOST
But CNN just a couple of days ago reported this about the air defense interceptors.

This tube being empty is a sight really that would spark fear for ordinary Ukrainians, and is the product of dozens of phone calls to any ally, all sorts of deal-making President Zelenskyy told me, to try and find the interceptors to fill this up.
Preston StewartHOST
According to a new statement from the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence, they say Russia produced at least 250 missiles last month alone.
Preston StewartHOST
That's between the Kh-101 and Caliber cruise missiles and the Iskander ballistic missiles.
Preston StewartHOST
So to be clear, it's not 250 ballistic missiles, which are the hardest to intercept and where the Patriot really shines compared to other systems.
Preston StewartHOST
But the Patriot is still used, if you have it available, against cruise missiles.
Preston StewartHOST
Who knows about Iranian production right now? Russia is actively making them, and they're outproducing us.
Preston StewartHOST
The deputy chief of Ukraine's defense intelligence, Major General Skibitsky, apologies in the pronunciation there, just speaking with RBC Ukraine and all of these sources, of course, linked in the description below, said overall across the main types of missile systems, Russia is currently exceeding its monthly production targets by 110 to 120%.
Preston StewartHOST
According to their intelligence, Russia's July production target for Kh-101 missiles was met at 140%, Kalibr at 111%, for Kh-35, 200%, and for Iskander ballistic missiles, Iskander-M, 110%.
Preston StewartHOST
So all of these missiles that are at times getting through, increasingly getting through, are being prioritized.
Harrison SmithHOST
It could happen tonight or tomorrow.
Harrison SmithHOST
At least eight Russian bombers are said to be carrying KH-101 cruise missiles.
Harrison SmithHOST
At least three dozen missiles could be fired from the ground, including Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles.
Harrison SmithHOST
Zircon hypersonic missiles could be used too.
Amoja SumlerHOST
The very next day, the Russians retaliated.
Amoja SumlerHOST
They launched 22, uh, Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Amoja SumlerHOST
Uh, they launched 16, um...
Amoja SumlerHOST
Oh, okay.
Amoja SumlerHOST
Okay.
Amoja SumlerHOST
Let me give you those numbers again.
Amoja SumlerHOST
So 22 Kh-101s were launched from, uh, the Tu-95 strategic bombers.
Amoja SumlerHOST
16 more were launched from the, the Tupolev 160 strategic bombers.
