He clarified that both targets were shot down in the Kherson region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the help of reconnaissance drones, are trying to conduct intensive reconnaissance here, and the Russian Armed Forces periodically interrupt this.
“We shot down aircraft like the Leleka-100. Yes, we shot down the Leleka,” the Russian officer said.
At the same time, he added that almost every target that air defence crews face is unique. This is exactly what the night wing, which was shot down on the second attempt, became.
“This is a reconnaissance aircraft equipped with night vision and thermal vision. Yes, we successfully hit it,” Thunder added.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry showed a video of the work of the crews of the Pantsir-S1 air defense system and the new S-350 Vityaz air defense system near Donetsk. The cameraman managed to film at least three missile launches.
