Ukraine has created new mobile air defense fire groups that protect Ukrainian skies from enemy missiles and drones not only on land but also on water, according to Serhii Naev, commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Military sailors from a separate river division have been honing their skills for a year. I observed several times and was involved in improving their efficiency," Naev writes.

According to him, as a result of these actions, new mobile fire groups were formed to defend the Ukrainian sky in the Northern Operational Zone not only on land but also on water.
