"Successful combat work by the air commands of the South and Center and the forces and means of the Air Force, in cooperation with the air defense of other units of the Defense Forces, led to the downing of 26 attack UAVs," the Air Force reported.

The Air Force also eliminated one reconnaissance drone of the Zala type and downed enemy helicopter (type to be specified), three attack UAVs of the Lancet type, and four operational-tactical reconnaissance drones.

According to reports, the Air Force aircraft carried out more than 20 group airstrikes on Russian positions during the current and past days.
