A slight update on yesterdays missile attack on Ukraine. 89 aerial targets were shot down out of 100+ objects that were fired.
In the battles for #Mayorsk, the 1st territorial battalion (mobilized from Donbas) lost 50% of its personnel and was disbanded - the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Armed Forces captured another rare trophy. Mobile reconnaissance and artillery fire control point - 1B119 "Rheostat". There are only 50 known produced of which 3 were destroyed and 7 got captured by the AFU.
Over to the general events. Mostly focussed on the G20 top in Bali and partners announcing aid. #Sweden has announced a new $287 mln. aid package to Ukraine - it will provide air defense systems, Defense Minister Paul Jonsson said.
In addition to anti-aircraft systems, the military package includes all-terrain vehicles, winter equipment and protective equipment and tents.
About the 'Archer' self propelled howitzer he said "there will be additional packages".
#Croatia will transfer its 14 Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters to the Air Force of Ukraine in exchange for Blackhawk helicopters from the USA, Jutarnji reports
The Oshkosh M1070 U.S. Army tank transporter tractor unit, which was purchased by volunteers together with the Poroshenko Foundation, has arrived in Ukraine, it will be used in one of the artillery brigades, which has Western self-propelled guns.
#Germany announced another additional aid package for Ukraine.
G20 adopted a declaration demanding "full, unconditional Russian withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine". Nothing binding but a first step to a united statement to Russia.
Regarding yesterdays attack on Poland. It is highly likely that this was a Ukrainian Airdefense missile type S-300.
