Iranian drones remain a problem for Air Force, - Ihnat

Russia deliberately launches these drones at night to deplete Ukrainian air defense.

This was stated in an іnterview with "Ukrainian truth" by Yuriy Ihnat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, іnforms Censor.NЕТ.

"Iranian drones are a headache. They are still difficult to shoot down. When there are a lot of them flying, they use different routes, they are pressed low to the ground, and it is difficult to reach them by plane. Because the speed of the drone itself is 150 km/h, and a fighter jet flies at least 400 km/h.

We can't get this drone at night with the help of air defense systems of the ground forces or mobile fire groups," the statement said.
