Quote: "Yesterday, another enemy UAV was destroyed in the evening, as well as another Ka-52 helicopter belonging to the invaders. This happened in Donetsk Oblast. Anti-aircraft missile units destroyed another helicopter."
Details: Ihnat admitted that currently, public attention is focused on the missile terrorism by the Russians. The Russian Federation, which broke its teeth on the Ukrainian army, is terrorising the civilian population. Unfortunately, not all missiles can be shot down by our air defence system, he said.
Before that, when there was an attack on the country’s energy infrastructure, 9 out of 12 missiles were destroyed. But the missiles that Russians are currently using, such as Iskander, Kinzhal and others, cannot be shot down so effectively.
That is why the issue of obtaining modern effective weapons from international partners remains so important, Ihnat concluded.
