"We see the use of the Shahed-136 UAV, and now they also use the Shahed-131 - this is their smaller version. Then they label it as "Geran-2", and this is "Geran-1", a smaller drone. But we all perfectly understand that these are Iranian-made drones," Ihnat said.
According to the information of the Armed Forces, in total, in November and December, the enemy used 127 "shahed" and 300 cruise missiles.
Ignat also noted that the enemy releases drones in small groups in different directions, and uses "shaheds" mainly at night, because at night "there is no visual reference to the targets."
The Armed Forces of Ukraine added that the average speed of the drone is 150 km/h.
