Ukraine begins to shoot down Shaheds with FPV drones – Sukharevskyi

Ukraine began to shoot down russian Shahed drones with FPV drones.

The Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Vadym Sukharevskyi said this in an interview with LIGA.net.

Sukharevskyi noted that the Unmanned Systems Forces have turned the battlefield upside down and shown their effectiveness. According to him, Ukraine is scaling up strikes on the military facilities of the aggressor country.

"When the Shaheds flew at us from Russia, we quickly created thousands of mobile fire groups, which showed high efficiency. The Russians saw that they were working to no avail. And they began to change tactics, began to improve, change altitudes. What have we moved on to? Now we are starting to shoot down Shaheds with FPV drones," said Sukharevskyi.

During the war, there is a constant technological race, the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces emphasized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on February 6, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said that in January, Ukrainian drones hit or destroyed 7% more enemy targets than in December.

On February 3, Sukharevskyi said that Ukrainian drones can strike at a distance of up to 2,000 km thanks to the development and improvement of unmanned systems.

In January, the Unmanned Systems Forces reported that they were using a long-range drone capable of carrying a 250-kilogram aerial bomb against enemy targets.
