According to Ihnat, the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine have already destroyed about 70 drones from the second batch of drones that arrived from Iran to Russia.
"About 70 UAVs were destroyed by air defense. The enemy still has these drones, and it is necessary to prepare and strengthen, especially in relation to critical infrastructure objects," the spokesman said.
He said that the first batch of Iranian strike drones for the occupiers included almost 400 drones. The new party has another 250 Shaheds. He added that it was with them that the occupiers carried out four waves of attacks last week and the week before last.
