Quote: “Over 400 UAVs [since the first batch delivered to Russians by Iran – ed.] have struck Ukraine; the Ukrainian defence forces have destroyed most of them.”

Details: Ihnat stated that Ukrainian air defence is constantly increasing the percentage of downed drones.

In response to the presenter’s remark that the number of attacks by Iranian-made UAVs has recently decreased somewhat, the Air Force spokesman noted that Russia’s use of these loitering munitions is affected by their availability, deployment and transportation, as well as by weather conditions.

On the night of 8-9 November, Russian attacks using Shahed-136 drones were launched from the temporarily occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

The air defence units of Air Command Skhid (East) have destroyed five kamikaze drones.
