In addition, according to Syrsky, the Air Force continues to equip with modern electronic warfare systems. This will increase the reliability of protection of facilities that are being covered from air strikes.
"A separate topic is the use of interceptor drones as a substitute for anti-aircraft missiles in the fight against UAVs. We are definitely a leader in this area and continue to improve this air defense subsystem. My sincere gratitude goes to everyone who implements the relevant solutions, assists, trains and produces drones that intercept enemy UAVs. I am grateful to the Ukrainian soldiers who guard our airspace around the clock!" added Syrskyi.

With the participation of the Director of the Department of Critical Infrastructure Protection of the State Special Communications Service of Ukraine, we analyzed in detail the implementation of plans for the protection of critical infrastructure facilities and clarified the procedure for further joint actions for the winter period," the Chief of the Armed Forces summarized.
