Why the Su-30MKI cockpit is painted bright turquoise green
In an evening update, the Ukrainian defence ministry reported that at least 84 missile and air strikes had been carried out by Russia and that 43 cruise missiles and 13 drones had been shot down by Ukrainian air defences.
Emergency services reported that as missiles ploughed into junctions, parks, and tourist attractions throughout Ukraine, 14 people have been killed and 97 others injured. In spite of this, Ukrainians stood strong in the face of adversity singing the Ukrainian anthem and other patriotic songs, defiant against Russian aggression.
Take a look:
The onslaught of dozens of cruise missiles launched from the air, land, and sea was the largest wave of attacks to strike Ukraine, away from the front lines—at least since the opening salvos on the war's first day, Feb. 24.
Russian President Vladimir Putin claims to have ordered the "masssive" strike in answer to Ukraine's alleged attack on the bridge linking Russia and Crimea three days back on Saturday (October 8th).
The United States, however, said that attacks on such a scale could not have been put together in just a couple of days.
Ukraine has vowed to strengthen its armed forces with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his nightly address vowed "we will make the battlefield more painful for the enemy," adding that "we will do everything to strengthen our armed forces."
