Russian invaders continue to launch attack drones in Ukraine. During the night of October 22 alone, our military eliminated 11 enemy drones.
Speaker of OK “South” Colonel Vladislav Nazarov noted that the enemy continues to terrorize civilians. A massive strike was inflicted on the south of Ukraine at night.
10 attack drones were destroyed in the sky over the Nikolaev region, and another 1 over the Kirovohrad region. Unfortunately, the enemy hit one of the critical infrastructure facilities in the Cherkasy region. As of the morning of October 22, rescuers continue to put out the fire.
How effective are the Armed Forces of Ukraine shooting down Iranian drones
Yury Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have learned how to successfully land Iranian drones. Aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces and air defense have already shown effective work. They also successfully cope with drones thanks to the use of anti-aircraft installations and heavy machine guns.
In just 2 weeks, Ukrainian soldiers shot down 85% of Iranian Shahed-136s. Ignat noted that such indicators were only “a matter of time”.
Why Iran is helping Russia
Analysts of the American Institute for the Study of War suggested why Iran helps Russia kill Ukrainians and supplies drones. The researchers argue that Tehran considers China and Russia to be its strategic partners. It seems that they can help overthrow the US authorities.
