Ukrainian General Staff: 'Hundreds of bombings in 24 hours' Kiev: Russian Su-34 fighter shot down, the eleventh in a month. Over one hundred air strikes, 163 bombings from multiple rocket launchers have been launched by Kremlin troops in the last 24 hours.

Ukrainian success in shooting down Russian planes is due to the use of Patriot and Nasams missiles, as well as the "blind spots" of the Russian army which lost a third of its A-50 early warning planes.
