“There will be a new approach to the use of air defense by the Air Force – what concerns mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, and other means of “small” air defense. This system will be transformed. I approved the appointment of the new deputy commander of the Air Force – Pavlo Yelizarov. In the army, he is known as “Lazar”, a special unit that works, and works effectively.
