Russia Attacks Rivne Region with Cruise Missiles and Heat Traps

Today, Russia launched an attack on Rivne, using the X-101 cruise missile. These missiles are equipped with special devices that can release heat traps to deceive Ukrainian air defense systems.

As the missile approaches its target or upon detecting illumination, it activates pyrotechnic devices that create a bright infrared source. This distracts heat-seeking surface-to-air missiles and significantly increases the chances of hitting the target.
