National Guard captures Shahed drone interception over Poltava Oblast
17th Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard shot down three Russian-launched Shahed drones overnight, the officers wrote on Telegram, and published the corresponding video on Jan. 2.
The National Guard soldiers shared the moment one of the drones was taken down.
“Target destroyed!” the video’s author can be heard saying.
The downed Shahed crashed into a field, falling short of populated areas.
Overnight on Jan. 2, the Russian army launched 72 drones against Ukraine, including Shahed kamikaze UAVs and aerial objects of other types. Ukrainian air defense forces successfully destroyed 47 drones.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
