Report on the work of the Air Defense of Ukraine for May 2026
In a month, our air defense destroyed more than 59 thousand air targets and repelled 25 enemy missile and air strikes.
Ukrainian innovations play a major role in this: interceptor drones autonomously shoot down enemy "shaheeds" thanks to technology that automates 95% of the interception process.
Private enterprises also joined in the destruction of air targets — air defense groups created with the permission of the Ministry of Defense destroyed more than 20 enemy UAVs.
We are working to implement the Defense Plan of Ukraine by Mykhailo Fedorov: to identify 100% of air threats and intercept at least 95% of missiles and drones.
