Yesterday I had a conversation with some military personnel.
The problem of “shaheeds” under the new command has finally begun to be addressed comprehensively. And that’s good. It’s a pity that they’ve only reached this point now.
All these drone strikes that you see in the news are part of the countermeasure system. There are strikes on enemy warehouses. There is a hunt for logistics. There are very good hits on coordination centers, with the deaths of officers and representatives of Alabuga.
Yes, it didn’t completely block the launch of Shaheds; it has a limited effect. But it is there. Some drone ports after the strikes made only a few single launches of “shaheeds”. Some are still digging up corpses.
More importantly, the SOU, in addition to countering the drones themselves, has also begun work on the places where they take off. This is in addition to strikes on the Russian drone military-industrial complex.
It’s not an easy job. The enemy adapts quickly. But our pilots are also developing and each time gaining more understanding of how to make their work more effective.
So the SOU are doing what they can on the front line, not only to protect themselves and destroy the enemy, but also to ensure that fewer drones reach peaceful cities.
Wish them luck in their hunt. We all depend on it.
