The Ukrainian military intends to launch anti-aircraft missiles at Russian drones flying from the illegally annexed Crimea.
“If we are talking about quadrocopter drones, it’s sufficient to use small arms, namely machine guns. If we are talking about serious UAVs of the Orlan or Forpost type, then anti-aircraft missiles are used in this case. Buk-M1 was often used against these drones, since there was a significant threat to our military. There were cases where enemy drones would shoot down army aviation helicopters, such as Mi-24s,” said press secretary of the Command of the Air Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ihnat, RFE/RL’s Krym Realii reports.
