Ukraine is creating a multi-layered system to counter enemy Shahed drones.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi held a meeting dedicated to the development of the air defense sector aimed at combating strike drones.
This involves training new crews and providing them with interceptor drones, radars, and other means of destruction.
There are also plans to form new drone fighter units.
During the meeting, reports were heard on the work of units already intercepting drones, and plans for the development of this area were discussed.

“Air defense is a priority for the state, the Armed Forces, and for me personally as Commander-in-Chief. After all, the security of Ukraine’s rear depends on the effectiveness of our anti-drone system and the reliability of our missile defense,” Syrskyi said.
Following the meeting, new tasks were set to eliminate the identified shortcomings and strengthen the work with interceptor drones.
Defence against drones is a priority. I hope Ukraine have plans for this large drone factory in mafia land. Destroying that would save a lot of lives.
This is perhaps a job for the Flamingos.
