In July 2026, Russian forces intensified their aerial campaign along the front line while the month also saw a sustained high level of combat activity.
The figures were released by the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces.
Russian forces dropped a record number of guided aerial bombs in July while the intensity of combat along the front line remained exceptionally high.
Russian aviation used more than 8,300 guided aerial bombs (GABs) equipped with glide and guidance kits during the month—the highest monthly total since the start of the full-scale invasion.
For comparison, Russian forces deployed 8,266 GABs in June.
The General Staff also reported 7,922 combat engagements in July, averaging more than 250 clashes per day.
That marked an increase from 7,316 combat engagements recorded in June.
