This morning, the Air Force of Ukraine shot down another Ka-52 helicopter of the occupiers.
Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced this during an informational telethon.
"Just an hour ago, another Ka-52 helicopter of the occupiers was shot down by servicemen of the Southern Air Command in the south, in the Kherson region. Just the day before, servicemen of this air command destroyed the Kh-101 missiles themselves, 4 out of 5 were destroyed... One of them was destroyed by a serviceman of the Air Command" East". This is a very, very good result. In addition, 2 more enemy UAVs were shot down in the east during the night, and our air defense of the ground forces is also not sitting idly by and destroys the occupier: the enemy Su-25 attack aircraft was destroyed," Ignat said.
He noted that thanks to combat experience, more and more enemy cruise missiles are being destroyed.
"Unfortunately, we cannot effectively shoot down all the missiles that the enemy launches over Ukraine, because there are ballistic missiles and extremely fast missiles, which, unfortunately, are beyond the power of the means we have in our arsenal," - said the spokesman.
According to him, our aviation does not stop striking from the air: since the beginning of the Russian aggression, about 2,400 airstrikes have been carried out against the occupying forces.
Ignat also emphasized that the enemy is increasingly using outdated weapons.
"We see a trend that the enemy is more often using outdated Soviet weapons. If yesterday Kh-101 missiles were flying, it is already a rarity, these are extremely expensive missiles... Soviet-made missiles Kh-22, Kh-59, as well as S-300 complexes are often used, which are designed to shoot down air targets, and are used to strike ground targets... But this suggests that the enemy is saving the resources it has already spent on the war in Ukraine. According to various military intelligence and other sources, the enemy still has that stock is a little thin," said an Air Force spokesman.
