Since the beginning of this year, the Russian military has launched 2,277 Shahed drones targeting the territory of Ukraine.

According to the Air Force commander Mykola Oleshchuk, the Ukrainian air defense managed to destroy 86% of them.

This became possible due to the creation of mobile fire groups. Each night, thousands of the Ukrainian military defend the skies of the country.

The commander thanked everyone who makes contribution to the defense of Ukraine.

‘The war is reaching a new technological level, UAVs of various types are gaining more and more importance, and artificial intelligence is being introduced. Mobile fire groups are also being improved. With a high probability, they will include operators of UAV-interceptors and other modern weapons, in particular combat lasers,’ Oleshchuk said.
