During the last massive attack Friday, Russia used every type of weapon except for drones.

On December 16, the enemy did not launch any Shahed-136 drones into Ukrainian territory, but it employed every other type of weapon, said Yurii Hnat, ae spokesman from Ukraine’s Air Force. Hnat explained that the enemy used land-based, air-based, and sea-based missiles. Also, he noted that before the attack the enemy studied and planned its moves very carefully, using air, space and ground intelligence, including social networks. The weather conditions did not affect their ability to launch missiles, but did impact their ability to  observe the consequences of their strikes. On December 16, the Russian Federation fired 76 rockets at Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, which included 72 X-101, Kalibr, and X-22 ground launched cruise missiles,  and four guided X-59 and X-31P air missiles. Ukraine’s Armed Forces destroyed 60 incoming rockets.
