According to the commander, "each air target, be it an attack drone or a cruise missile, is not easy for our defenders to destroy. But every destroyed target means Ukrainian lives and health saved, their property and infrastructure remaining intact."

“Footage shows an air defense battle on the night of November 14, 2023. The Air Force is destroying enemy Shaheds,” the commander noted.
