Recently, I had conversations with some military personnel.
The “Shahed” problem has finally begun to be addressed comprehensively under the new command. And that is good. It’s a shame it took this long to get here.
All these drone port hits you see in the news are part of the counteraction system. Strikes are being made on enemy depots. There is a hunt for logistics. There have been very successful hits on coordination centers resulting in the deaths of officers and representatives of Alabuga.
No, this has not completely blocked the launches of “Shaheds,” it has a limited effect. But it exists. Some drone ports made only a few single launches of “Shaheds” after the strikes. In some places, they are still digging out bodies.
More importantly, the Armed Forces, apart from counteracting the drones themselves, have started working on the locations from which they are launched. This complements the strikes on the Russian UAV industry.
This is all complex work. The enemy adapts quickly. But our pilots are also developing and gaining more understanding each time on how to make their efforts more effective.
Thus, the Armed Forces are doing what they can on the front lines, not only to protect themselves and destroy the enemy but also to ensure fewer drones reach peaceful cities.
Wish them luck in their hunt. We all depend on it.
On the cover: On the night of October 1, Ukrainian Defense Forces’ attack drones struck the “Tsymbulova” drone port near the settlement of Bolkhov in the Orlov region. As a result of this attack, UAV storage areas and the launch pad were damaged. Photo: t.me/absolutely_reliable. Collage: Obosrevatel
