Active countermeasures with EW (Electronic warfare) means

"More than 20 of all the mentioned air attack assets that did not make it into the statistics of downed ones did not achieve their goals due to active countermeasures with electronic warfare means," the Air Force press service reports.

Enemy missiles are becoming less effective

As noted by the Air Force, Russian missiles are becoming increasingly less effective, causing them to "fly who knows where." However, this does not mean that they do not pose a threat; quite the opposite.

"Therefore, stay vigilant, do not ignore alarms, especially with the use of ballistic weapons," the press service adds.
