Omissions

• The MEP did not cite any source for the figures. The data originates from the Ukrainian Air Force, as reported by multiple media outlets.
• The claim uses the phrasing 'more than 600 UAVs and 70 missiles,' which is slightly imprecise: the exact reported figure is 611 UAVs (indeed more than 600) and exactly 70 missiles, not 'more than 70.'
• All available sources rely on Ukrainian military reporting; no independent or Russian-source corroboration was found. The Ukrainian Air Force is a party to the conflict, which introduces potential reporting bias.
• The missiles included various types: 6 3M22 Zircon anti-ship missiles, plus air-, sea-, and ground-launched missiles. The UAVs included Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmas types.
