Mobile fire teams work very effectively against Shahed-type attack drones. They are the ones who are now shooting down most of these air targets.
This was stated by Speaker of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat on the air of the One News telethon.
— This is good because it allows us to stock up on anti-aircraft guided missiles, which we need to repel cruise missiles, and also prevent enemy aircraft and helicopters from appearing in our airspace, — he explained.

According to him, since September 2022, the Russian Federation has launched 3,700 Shahed attack drones across Ukraine, of which 2,900 were destroyed.
— Yes, the difference — at 800, but they haven’t shot down that many before. They shot from everything that was at hand, from machine guns and pistols. And now we have the result we have arrived at. Therefore, mobile fire teams take on a new meaning. But we are still waiting for more modern weapons systems that can shoot down targets automatically, — Ignat summed up.
According to the Air Force, on the night of December 21, the Russian Federation launched 35 Shahed-136/13 attack drones into Ukraine, 34 of which were destroyed by air defense systems.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for the 666th day.
