Sirsky emphasized that the priority is to increase the number of UAV interceptors, ground stations and radar equipment, as well as increase the volume and quality of crew training.
Direct speech: “Our key task at this stage is to strengthen the direction of UAV interceptors, increase the number of relevant drones, ground stations and radars, increase the volume and quality of crew training.
This project has been in the works for a long time and has my full support. Within the echelon system, at a certain distance from large cities, interception lines are created. The number of applications of UAV interceptors and their effectiveness is gradually increasing. At the same time, he emphasized the need to intensify this work, speed up the purchase of appropriate weapons and equipment, and strengthen the staffing of the relevant units.
Details: In addition, according to him, the Armed Forces continue the formation of separate divisions of unmanned air defense systems and create full-time units of UAV interceptors in training centers. The resources of the army and small aviation, in particular with the support of international partners, are also being used to fight against the Shaheds.
Syrsky noted that the enemy is actively using weather conditions, modernizing attack drones and changing tactics, in particular, attacking at ultra-low altitudes. In response, Ukraine adapts its own countermeasures and changes the air defense system to achieve the necessary results.
