The Ukrainian Air Force has released footage of the destruction of a Russian attack drone by a MiG-29 fighter pilot, the Ukrainian Justice portal reports.
"Denfiks is a pilot of the tactical aviation brigade of the "West" Air Command. One of his tasks is to destroy Russian cruise missiles and attack drones. The enemy is increasing their number during his attacks. All forces and means are being deployed to repel missile strikes: air defense missile units, mobile fire groups, electronic warfare units. If necessary, fighter jets take to the sky to intercept targets," the "West" Air Command announced.
The Air Force says that the Russians usually launch "Shahid" drones at night, but that recently they have also been attacking in the morning.
According to the pilot, who according to Ukrainian Justice has over 20 destroyed cruise missiles and drones, it is easier to detect and destroy drones during the day.
