The military noted that the increase in the effectiveness of the unit's performance and the destruction of Russia’s air defense capabilities come as a result of deep reconnaissance, accurate analysis, and thorough mission planning.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Ukrainian drones had hit more than 160,000 enemy targets in the past two months.
