The Ukrainian Armed Forces have explained why the Russian Federation is launching Shahed into Ukraine again
Last night, the Russians launched 14 drones into Ukraine.
By launching Iranian drones into Ukraine, the Russians are trying to track down and deplete Ukrainian air defence assets, the Air Force spokesman, Col Yuriy Ignat, has said on air of the 24 TV channel.
According to him, the Russians want to understand the algorithm by which Ukrainian troops shoot down drones.
Previously, drones were used more in combination with missiles. Now they are exhausting the air defence, detecting the locations. The same radar aircraft A 50 takes off when we are engaged in combat, it records the locations of launches from our zent missile systems. Thus they detect and make an algorithm, from where we launch, how we move etc.," said Ignat.
At the same time, the Air Force spokesman pointed out that unlike previous times, last night Russia launched drones not from the eastern coast of the Azov Sea, but from the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation.
We shall remind you that the Ukrainian Defence Forces shot down 11 drones launched by the Russians on Monday night, with a total of 14 drones used by the enemy this time for the aerial attack. Nine drones were shot down in the airspace around Kyiv.
