In addition to drones like Shahed, each of which costs about 200 thousand dollars, the invaders use cheaper analogues – “bait” to find the location of Ukrainian air defense systems.
Several Russian attack drones of the Shahed type can fly over the territory of Ukraine for almost a day. To do this, the Russians are making changes to their design. The spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ilya Yevlash, spoke about this on Friday, November 29, in an interview with the Center for Countering Disinformation.
“I saw for myself how it flew for more than 24 hours. The drone circled those different reserves, they searched for it there for a long time, but it could continue for a long time, about 24 hours ,” said Yevlash.
According to him, in order for the drone to fly for a long time, it needs to increase the fuel tank or reduce the warhead.
He noted that mobile fire groups are actively working against enemy drones, the number of which is periodically increasing.
“We do our best, and even to the limit of our capabilities – our pilots often enter the enemy’s air defense zone to work on targets,” Yevlash added.
Yevlash noted that the enemy is now actively using drones and called on people who find them not to approach the drone and report the discovery to the special services. In addition, he reminded that during the attack one must be in cover.
We remind you that in Nikopol a woman and a man were injured due to the strike of a Russian kamikaze drone.
On Thursday morning, debris from downed Russian missiles fell in the Dnieper and Darnitsky districts of Kyiv.
