Currently, on the front lines, every fifth or sixth drone launched by Russian forces is being used in southern Ukraine.
This was stated during a television broadcast by Spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces Vladyslav Voloshyn, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
“In our direction, for example, the enemy carried out 500 FPV drone strikes over the past day. That means every fifth or sixth drone used along the entire line of combat engagement is being used against us. This is a significant number of this type of weapon, so it must be countered,” Voloshyn said.
He explained that these drones can be effectively countered, for instance, by detecting and destroying the operators controlling them.
“So, such tactics are being used in practice. But this is not our main tactic, so to speak. We also strike logistics targets and concentrations of enemy forces and assets in the rear. Additionally, we target drone operators directly,” Voloshyn added.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, Southern Defense Forces Spokesperson Vladyslav Voloshyn said that the Russians are deeply concerned that Ukrainian troops might carry out an amphibious operation to seize footholds on the Kinburn and Tendrivska Spits.
