Russia begins targeting air defense crews with Shahed drones

He said the drone struck a mobile air defense team.

“Unfortunately, there was another hit by a guided Shahed drone on a mobile fire group crew. The unit was engaging one Shahed while another was targeting the crew,” Flash wrote.

Flash said this was not the first such incident. He addressed all units and branches of the military operating mobile fire groups, urging them to consider camouflage in advance, have a plan of action in case of a drone attack, and be prepared for the threat both mentally and physically.

“Please show and explain this new threat to the crews,” he said.

Earlier, Ukraine’s General Staff reported that during the ceasefire, Ukrainian forces recorded 10,721 violations by Russian forces.
