Russia for a week released almost 3000 UAVs, trying to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense – Ignat

Over the past week, Russia has carried out massive attacks, using about 2,800-3,000 unmanned aerial vehicles on the territory of Ukraine.

This was announced on air by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuri Ignat, informs the portal PromPolitInform.

“2800-3000 – about this figure for the week. These are drones, for which we give statistics every morning. In addition, there are “Lightning,” “Lancets” and so on,” he said.

Ignat stressed that the main problem for Ukraine remains the Shahed drone, which in its technical characteristics differs significantly from the modification that was at the beginning of the war.

Shahed became very different from what he was at the beginning of the invasion. These are already two different aircraft. It can be resistant to EW, using individual elements on the antennas,” he said.

Recall that the Russian Federation uses Belarus to launch Shahed – Ignat.

Ignat spoke about the goals and results of the night attack of the Russian Federation.

In the Kyiv region, the number of victims of the Russian attack has increased. There are currently four dead and 15 wounded.

On the night of March 14, Russian troops launched a massive attack on the Kyiv region with the use of drones and missiles. Peaceful settlements were under attack, there are dead and injured.

On the eve of the Russian troops attacked the Glukhovskaya community with guided bombs, three local residents were injured. Private houses and cars were damaged, the consequences of the strike are being eliminated. Rescuers have already examined the area and confirmed that there are no people under the rubble.

Since the beginning of the day, there have already been dozens of attacks at the front, the hottest near Konstantinovka.
