Although Russia did not launch a missile and drone attack on Ukraine's Independence Day, it is clear that Russia may be accumulating missile and drone weapons for this purpose.

In the early morning of August 26, local time, Russia launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on energy infrastructure in 15 Ukrainian towns, causing emergency power outages in many areas and hitting residential buildings.

The Russian army dispatched a total of 11 Tu-95s, 6 Tu-22s, 1 MiG-31K, and 4 submarines to launch missiles, and also launched drones from multiple directions. On the same day, Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian Engels and another strategic bomber base, probably to prevent the Russian attack.

Russia used a total of 236 Shahed drones and various types of missiles in this attack. The Ukrainian army shot down 102 missiles and 99 drones, with an interception rate of 80%.

This means that Russia did not launch a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine during the period after the Ukrainian army attacked Kursk, but was only accumulating missiles. The current attack also means that the Russian army's routine winter destruction of Ukrainian energy facilities has actually begun.
