Rocket strike of the Russian Federation in Ukraine: Poland raised fighter jets

The decision was made in order to protect the inhabitants of the southeastern part of the country, bordering Ukraine, on which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation released 40 missiles and drones. F-16 fighter jets were lifted in Poland through Ukraine's rocket firing on Saturday, January 13. The report appeared on the official page of the Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Poland on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

Such measures were made due to increased activity in the southeastern part of the country, which struck the territory of Ukraine. The headquarters noted that the planes had to be launched to activate the necessary procedures to ensure the safety of Poland's airspace. The F-16 was raised into the sky in the southeastern part of the country and warned people so that they would not be afraid of the noise produced by engines of military aircraft.

In the morning of January 13, Russian troops launched another large -scale offensive on Ukraine. Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, Dnipropetrovsk and Khmelnytsky regions were rocket firing. According to intelligence, the enemy launched six Tu-95m, six TU-22m3, five MiG-31K, Su-34 and Su-35 and ballistic missiles from Crimea. The missiles flew over the Dnieper, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Chernihiv, Poltava, Rivne and Khmelnytsky regions. During the attack on January 13, 8 winged missiles were destroyed.

In total, the Russian Federation used 40 rockets and drones. The Armed Forces Command notes that more than 20 drones and rockets have not been struck by the intended goals, as they were actively opposed to radio electronic struggle. We will remind, on January 13 we wrote that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation chose the tactics of exhaustion of the Armed Forces and prepare for new aggression.

The enemy demonstrates the advantage in ammunition and quickly restores losses in technology and live strength. At the same time, they are beginning to save more people. In addition, on the same day, the head of the united press center of the operational command "South" Natalia Humeniuk told why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not fire Ukraine from the territory of occupied Crimea.
