During the night attack of Shahed-136/131 kamikaze drones, almost all enemy targets were shot down by mobile fire groups, which is a very good indicator.
A representative of the Air Force Command, Yuri Ignat, announced this on the air of Unified News.
Usually the enemy attacks Ukraine with 20-25 drones at night or during the day. Today the Russians launched 45 drones — this is a serious attack, noted Yuri Ignat.

The Shahids launched in waves from two directions. The drones moved along the same routes that they had scouted the day before.
According to Yuri Ignat, of the five drones that are not included in the downed statistics, several did not reach their targets as a result of certain circumstances. The speaker noted that this is a very good result of combat work.
Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Nikolai Oleschuk notes the good work of all units of the Defense Forces. All types of troops are involved in shooting down kamikaze drones: the Air Force, mobile fire groups, the State Border Service, and units of the National Police.
— A very difficult goal — Shahed. But thanks to joint efforts we have a good result. Unfortunately, such indicators cannot be achieved when drones are being attacked in front-line zones, because there is little time to shoot them down. In addition, mobile fire teams have a limited range to shoot down, — emphasized Yuri Ignat.
The State Border Service reported that tonight mobile fire groups of border guards of the Odessa border detachment managed to “remove” two enemy UAVs from the sky. Another Shahed was shot down by servicemen of the Kherson detachment.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for the 718th day. You can monitor the situation in cities on the interactive map of military operations and the map of air raids in Ukraine.
