Ukraine and Russia Just Set Two Very Different Records
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Russia launched a massive overnight attack against Ukraine, firing 35 missiles and 185 drones. Kyiv was the primary target, and Ukraine intercepted only one of the 27 ballistic missiles launched—an alarming result that exposes its critical shortage of Patriot interceptors.
But Ukraine also delivered a record-setting response. More than 410 Ukrainian drones and missiles were reportedly launched against Russian and occupied territory, striking oil refineries in Ufa, military logistics infrastructure in Crimea, Black Sea Fleet facilities, electronic-warfare units, railway bridges, and other high-value targets.
Meanwhile, the final numbers for July are in: Russia suffered 42,600 casualties—its worst month of 2026. Two records were set, but they tell two very different stories about the direction of this war.
