1. Kalibr’s were launched presumably from the Russian frigate “Admiral Essen”, the Shaheds -from the area of the Chauda training ground (Crimea).
   Kalibr cruise missiles and the most part of kamikaze drones were destroyed in the south – in the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions, the rest of the attack UAVs were hit in the Donetsk, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
   During the past day on July 17, air defenses destroyed three Shahed-type strike UAVs, one Lancet, and nine reconnaissance UAVs of the operational-tactical level.

2. No victims, I hope! This is probably their revenge attack against Ukraine for the damage to the occupier bridge.

3. 6 Kalibir missiles – I’m shocked the Russians didn’t react any stronger.

4. With what weapon system got Odesa hit tonight?

5. Amazing work again, by Ukrain’s AD. Wonderful. I hope there were no victims.

6. Best of the best!

7. So, Iranian drones are better than Putins super weapons? Ouuuuuch.
