According to him, there will be a new approach by the Air Force to the use of air defense — regarding mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, and other "small" air defense assets.
"This system will be transformed. I approved the appointment of a new deputy commander of the Air Force — Pavlo Yelizarov. In the army, he is known as Lazar, a special unit that operates, and operates effectively. Together with Ukraine’s defense minister and the military command, a new organization for the entire component of this kind of protection of the sky must be developed — and it will be developed," Zelenskyy said.
- Recall that earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov approved the candidacy of a new deputy commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who will be responsible for the small air defense system.
