The reason for this was that the occupiers sent drones to the front-line areas, the speaker of the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ignat, said on air at a national telethon, the RBC-Ukraine agency reports.
Previously, the occupiers launched kamikaze drones deep into Ukraine, but now the Russians are using them to attack close to the front.
Most of these 49 attack drones were sent to front-line areas. That is, the line of defense where our soldiers stand, as well as the front-line territories of the Nikolaev, Kherson, Kharkov, and Zaporozhye regions, he emphasized. “This is not the first time the enemy has used suicide bombs in this manner. This is a change in the emphasis of the attack.
Ignat emphasized that the “shahed” is a difficult target for the fighters that Ukraine has. Therefore, mobile fire groups are brought in to eliminate them.
You know that “martyrdom” is not an easy goal. The fighters that are chasing them across the territory of Ukraine can fly around it five times and not destroy it, because the target is difficult for our old Soviet fighters. Actually, that’s why we expect that the F-16 will help us when it appears in Ukraine,” he noted.
