How Ukraine counters night drone attacks
Recently, the head of the Joint Press Center of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, Natalya Gumenyuk, said that during the last drone attack, the effectiveness of the air defense forces was quite high, despite the fact that the enemy tried to bypass the air defense system.
