Russia is increasing the scale of simultaneous "Shahed" attacks on Ukraine – Deputy Commander of Air Defense
Kyiv • UNN
Pavlo Yelizarov stated there is a rapid increase in the number of Shahed drones during attacks. The mass scale and changing enemy tactics are complicating the work of air defense systems.
The number of Shahed-type drones that Russia launches simultaneously during attacks on Ukraine is rapidly increasing, and the attacks themselves are becoming increasingly difficult to repel. This was stated by the Deputy Commander of the Air Defense Forces, Pavlo Yelizarov, as reported by UNN.
According to Yelizarov, Russian forces are constantly changing their tactics for using drones and are scaling up their strikes.
"The number of 'Shaheds' that the Russian Federation launches simultaneously is growing rapidly," noted the Deputy Commander of the Air Defense Forces.
He emphasized that the massive nature of the attacks creates an additional burden on the Ukrainian air defense system.
According to Yelizarov, Russian drone attacks are becoming increasingly difficult to repel due to the simultaneous use of a large number of drones and the combination of various strike assets.
