Direct speech: “Yesterday, on the evening before Christmas, our soldiers shot down almost 30 Shaheds, several missiles, and two more Russian military aircraft in one evening.
In total, 5 “dryers” were shot down in the week before Christmas. And this is very strong. Everyone who gives such results in our Air Force, all our anti-aircraft gunners, soldiers of mobile fire groups, air defense units of the Ground Forces are simply great. Thank you.
Every Russian pilot must make a clear choice for himself – whether to continue to participate in this war. Our air defense will only become stronger. Moreover, when we receive additional systems that have already been agreed upon, and the F-16.”
