Defense Forces Neutralize More Than 90% Of Russian Lancet And Molniya Drones In One Week
The military emphasizes that the battle for control of the skies is not taking place only over population centers in the rear, where conventional and jet-powered Shahed drones are intercepted. It is also being fought daily on the front lines, as the resilience of the front, the security of frontline communities, and the lives of civilians depend on it.
The Russian army is deploying large numbers of Molniya and Lancet attack drones at the tactical level. It uses these UAVs to target Ukrainian Defense Forces positions, equipment, and logistics, while also terrorizing residents of frontline communities.
