< p _ngcontent-sc90="" class="news-annotation">UAVs can also effectively counter Iranian drones. They would pose a symmetrical threat to the occupiers.
This was reported to Channel 24 by Yury Ignat, the speaker of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“We will not destroy their drones with ours. We can simply inflict symmetrical strikes on their targets with barrage ammunition (providing flight duration in order to quickly respond to a threat – Channel 24),” Ignat said.
Bayraktar were more effective at the beginning of the invasion
According to Ignat, hitting with attack drones like Bayraktar or others is not effective enough now. The enemy has sufficient air defense systems in the occupied territories.
Our fighters manage to eliminate them, but in the first months of the war, Bayraktar showed the destroyed enemy vehicles. They carried out not only strikes, but also the determination of targets and many other functions. Someday they will write about it in books,” Ignat said.
He added that now there is a big bet on loitering ammunition, because it is a precision weapon that delivers painful blows to the enemy. As Ignat noted, if Ukraine receives Western-style loitering ammunition, which is not so easy to destroy, it will be a tangible help for the military. /h3>
