Mobile air defense groups protect the skies over the Kyiv region. The military conducts round-the-clock combat duty, and also destroys Shaheda’s drones in case of a Russian attack. This was stated in the message of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook on Tuesday, March 14.
It is noted that the crew of mobile air defense groups consists of several people: a driver, a machine gunner or an operator of a portable anti-aircraft missile system. They must always be on the alert to get to a certain position and start executing a combat mission.
“Machine gunner Joker able to work on his DShK day and night. A machine gun of 12.7 mm caliber with an effective range of hitting air targets of up to 2.4 km serves as a weapon to destroy the Shahed, with the Russians attacking the capital weekly. This crew not only has the necessary skills, but also the experience of “landing” such drones.
Another combat mission of the mobile air defense group is the continuous transmission of information about the air situation outside Kyiv. This enhances the overall air defense capability to detect and destroy enemy targets in a timely manner.
Earlier it was reported that the NASAMS air defense systems, which the United States moved to Ukraine, intercepted 100% of the enemy missiles fired by Russia in Ukraine.
