On the night of November 18, Russian terrorists staged another attack with Shahed-type kamikaze drones. The invaders launched UAVs across Ukraine from the northern and southeastern directions.
As a result of the work of the air defense forces, 29 drones were destroyed. This was related by the instruction of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In connection with the attack by strike drones, the air alert began to spread from the south-eastern regions of our country. A few hours later, the UAVs reached the northern and western regions, and therefore an air raid alert was declared in a number of areas.
Russian troops used complex routes and maneuvers when attacking with kamikaze drones. Some UAVs covered a distance of almost 1000 km. However, the enemy’s attempts to confuse the air defense forces did not prevent the defenders from destroying most of the Shaheds.
The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that the Russian occupiers launched attack drones on November 17 at about 20:00 from the northern and southeastern directions. The UAV was launched from the Kursk region and Primorsko-Akhtarsk.
In total, launches of 38 Shahed-136/131 attack drones were recorded. Aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, mobile fire groups of the Air Force and the Defense Forces of Ukraine were involved in repelling the air attack. As a result of the anti-aircraft battle, 29 attack drones were destroyed.
Let us remind you that on the night of November 18, the Russian terrorist army tried to attack Kyiv with Shahed kamikaze attack drones. On the approaches to the Ukrainian capital, air defense forces managed to shoot down about 10 UAVs.
Earlier it was reported that the defenders of Ukraine have learned to shoot down Russian Shahed kamikaze drones of Iranian design day and night. The Ukrainian Air Force has released a new video of the combat work of mobile air defense fire groups.
As OBOZ.UA reported, the terrorist state Russia continues to build a plant for the production of Shahed-type kamikaze attack drones in the Republic of Tatarstan. The invaders plan to launch a mass production of UAVs in order to use them to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
