On the night of Monday, December 2, the Defense Forces of Ukraine successfully destroyed about twenty enemy drones that posed a threat to the capital. As reported Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Serhii Popko, due to the attack of the occupiers, an air alert was declared in Kyiv, which lasted for four and a half hours.
“There were a lot of drones. And they came in as before – in waves and from different directions. The Defense Forces detected and neutralized in various ways about two dozen enemy UAVs that potentially threatened Kyiv.” – said Popko.
According to him, Kyiv was saved from destruction and victims as a result of this attack. The Russian Federation continues to actively use Iranian Shahed-type kamikaze drones for strikes against Ukraine. Their flight range allows to cover most of the territory of Ukraine, depending on the place of launch.
These drones, also known as Geran-2, are manufactured in Iran and equipped for long-range flights, which according to various sources are between 1,000 and 2,000 kilometers. The Russian military uses them to attack peaceful Ukrainian cities, causing numerous destruction and endangering the lives of civilians.
