A MiG-29 fighter pilot successfully destroyed an enemy Shahed drone. The Command West of the Ukrainian Air Force showed video footage of the fight against Russian drones.
In particular, a MiG-29 fighter pilot with the call sign Denfix destroyed another enemy kamikaze drone of the Shahed type, taking to the sky for an interception in the morning.
According to the Ukrainian pilot, this time the drone strike was not carried out at night, as usual, but at dawn, which allowed for better visibility of the target in the sight and its destruction before reaching critical objects.
To repel air attacks from the Russians, Ukraine is using all available means: anti-aircraft missile systems, mobile groups, electronic warfare units, and fighter jets.
The pilot has already destroyed more than 20 cruise missiles and UAVs.
Earlier in February, during another Russian missile and drone attack, the Ukrainian air defense forces shot down a drone with new markings.
The first photos of a new series of Shahed kamikaze drones with the marking "Ъ" appeared. This is at least the fourth known series of Iranian-Russian Shahed-type kamikaze drones.
