In September, the aggressor country of russia increased the number of air attack means against Ukraine 1.3 times, the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense was about 74%. This was announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi on Facebook, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"New tests await us. In a month, the enemy has increased the number of air attack means used 1.3 times. And although our air defense demonstrates effectiveness at the level of about 74%, we must make additional efforts to cover the rear energy sector, critical infrastructure, and logistics," he said.
Syrskyi noted that the enemy is paying dearly for the continuation of the war of aggression against Ukraine. According to him, Ukraine has made progress in implementing the DeepStrike program - in September, the number of hits on the territory of the russian federation was brought to 70.
"We are destroying the production of fuels and lubricants, explosives, and other components of the russian military-industrial complex in the aggressor country. In particular, oil refining in russia has been reduced by 21%," he said.
Syrskyi noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are intensifying the creation of a new type of troops - unmanned air defense systems as part of the Air Force, improving the system of assault troops, and forming the Cyberforce command.
