Over 900 fire groups protect Ukraine's critical infrastructure

Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine
He is counting on improving the quality of fire groups' work.
When we receive technical assistance, we will convert all fire groups into mobile fire groups so that they can operate more effectively.
According to Pivnenko, the American side is helping to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure.
The first vehicles with "interesting equipment" have already arrived from them. We are currently testing this protection system, we will transfer it to training centers. Also, foreign partners are helping us with long-range detection radars to destroy "shaheeds".
Pivnenko noted that the National Guard fire groups are involved in the effective operation of the air defense system and are managed by the Air Force.
We are working on their equipment and training. The group has tablets on which you can see what is flying and where. There are different weather conditions, different altitudes of the "shaheeds", so the effectiveness is different. But the level of work of these groups is increasing, and accordingly, the level of protection of our infrastructure is increasing.
