Today, in the Brave Hearts project dedicated to the defense of Ukrainian skies, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov  will talk about the means by which our state is able to conduct targeted strikes on military aircrafts strategically important to the Russian aggressor.

Different systems are used. This time we used what we made from scratch from old components. We modernized it a bit. The engineers did a good job, believe me.
