Ukraine makes U.S. proud—stops nine Kh-101 missiles and 233 drones

Learn how Ukraine effectively countered Russia's most intense aerial attacks between May 26 and June 1, 2025! Despite barrages of over 900 Shahed drones and multiple Kh-101 cruise missiles, Ukraine's integrated and layered air defense system demonstrated remarkable resilience and operational efficiency.

The core of their defense relied on a mix of Western-supplied NASAMS, IRIS-T, and Patriot batteries, combined with upgraded Soviet-era Buk-M1 and S-300PS systems. This combined effort resulted in the successful interception of all nine Kh-101 missiles and an extraordinary 233 drones. Further strengthening these defenses were mobile anti-air units, expanded radar coverage, and electronic warfare elements. Crucially, newly deployed F-16 fighter jets intercepted over 20 threats, and the innovative "Tryzub" laser weapon system began supporting anti-drone operations. This adaptable strategy highlights Ukraine's evolving capacity to repel large-scale aerial offensives.
