Russia has reduced number of helicopter flights over Black Sea - Navy
The Russian army has reduced the number of helicopter flights over the Black Sea.
This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, on television, Censor.NET reports.
"In fact, there is some positive dynamics. It's a fact, and it's not the first day, so we can say that there is a systematic pattern. The number of helicopter sorties has decreased. This was also noticeable yesterday," he said.
Pletenchuk noted that the decline in activity may be partly due to weather conditions, although they are not currently critical for flights. Another reason, in his opinion, could be the occupiers' reaction to possible threats at sea.
"Therefore, perhaps the enemy is responding to possible threats at sea, and I cannot say that they have stopped this practice. Helicopters are being used, but in a slightly smaller number," the spokesman added.
As for airplanes, their activity remained at the same level. Most of all, Russians continue to use unmanned aerial vehicles of various models.
"The enemy is most actively using unmanned systems, many different models of UAVs," Pletenchuk summarized.
Earlier it was reported that the Commander of the Estonian Navy Ivo Värk believes that in the traditional sense of naval warfare, neither Russia nor Ukraine has dominance in the Black Sea.
