The AFU explained why there is no alarm when the checkheads fly
The Russians are using drones to attack infrastructure facilities in Ukraine.
The Russians are launching Iranian kamikaze drones on the territory of Ukraine at a very low altitude, due to which they are not detected by radars and therefore no "air alert" signal is sounded, the head of the United Coordinating Press Centre of the Defence Forces of the south of Ukraine, Nataliya Humenyuk, has said in a telethon broadcast.
Humenyuk pointed out that there were no air-raid alarms during the latest attack.
Nevertheless, our vigilance remains quite high, because, as I recall, "shahedas" can be heard even by sound," Humenyuk said.
She added that servicemen "listen very carefully to the air, among other things".
It should be noted that the Defence Ministry has signed 16 state contracts with Ukrainian drone manufacturers, with about 20bn hryvnyas to be spent on this segment in 2023.
