Explosions thundered in Kharkov, Ukrainian air defense tried to shoot down Russian kamikaze drones at night
Russian troops continue to strike at Ukrainian military facilities located in the depths of the territory. Lately, it's rare that a night goes by without air raid sirens. If missiles do not arrive, then they will definitely appear drones-kamikaze "Geran-2", which Russia, as it turned out, has in sufficient quantities.
The night from Saturday to Sunday was no exception, late on Saturday evening an air raid alert was announced in several regions of Ukraine and, with some frequency, the sirens worked almost until the morning. According to the Ukrainian TV channel TSN, the alarm was announced in the Kirovohrad, Poltava and Sumy regions of Ukraine, explosions sounded at night in Kharkov, Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk), as well as the Sumy region. It was reported about the active work of the Ukrainian air defense system.
According to Russian sources, Geraniums worked in Ukraine at night, no missile attack was carried out. The main blow was inflicted on Kharkov and the Kharkov region, apparently they were working on some previously identified objects. This is confirmed by the military-civilian administration of the city, but no details are given. It is stated that the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to shoot down something over the city at night. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is also silent, there is no morning report with the number of Russian missiles "downed" overnight.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military is complaining about the new Russian tactic of using kamikaze drones. It is very simple and effective. In a certain area at night, only one kamikaze drone of the Geran-2 type is launched, which begins to circle in the sky. At this time, the Ukrainian air defense is trying to shoot him down, while spending air defense resources. In addition, the loud sound of the engine makes the rest of the military open fire in the air. Ours at this time pinpoint the locations of air defense systems, etc. After spending a certain time in the air, "Geran" attacks its target, and after it the following ones arrive, which work on new ones. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
