On the night of January 30, air defence forces shot down 15 out of 35 Russian drones. Most of them were aimed at front-line or border areas.
Why did air defence forces down a small percentage of drones
The Air Force spokesman, Colonel Yuriy Ignat, explained on the telethon air that there is less time to shoot down drones in the front-line and border areas.
The spokesman noted that the Russians directed most of the 35 drones to the front-line territories, close to the battle line, the state border, and so on.
In this way, the enemy tried to hit various objects (military, civilian, fuel, and energy sector) close to their border or occupied territory.
