#Russian airstrikes

Faced with nightly barrages of Russian suicide drones and a dwindling supply of air defense missiles, Ukraine is turning to an unexpected weapon in the skies: helicopter pairs.

In the largest air assault since the start of its full-scale invasion, Russia launched an unprecedented 741 aerial weapons against Ukraine overnight, marking the highest number of airborne threats ever recorded in a 24-hour period.

A wave of Russian drone strikes hit multiple Ukrainian cities on July 7, killing two people and injuring dozens. The attacks caused fires and destruction across Kharkiv and Odesa, including damage to residential buildings, schools, and transport infrastructure.

Built from scratch, acoustic detection systems are turning sound into a weapon and reshaping air defense as we know it.
