“Starting from February 24, the air defense systems of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed about 90 Bayraktar strike drones made in Turkey.
This is not counting those destroyed in hangars on the ground by high-precision cruise missiles, ”said the agency’s interlocutor.
Due to their size and low maneuverability, these drones are an easy target for Russian anti-aircraft missile systems, he said.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said that Russian air defense systems intercepted four Ukrainian Smerch MLRS shells in the sky over the Kharkiv region.
In addition, Russian air defense systems shot down five drones in the sky over the Kherson and Kharkiv regions.
