Ukraine Turns Helicopters Into Drone Hunters With Surprising Success Rate
Ukraine is increasing the deployment of helicopters in air defense missions after commanders reported their effectiveness in intercepting Russian long-range drones, according to Militarnyi on September 26.
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said helicopter crews have become a critical part of the country’s layered air defense system.
“Depending on the weather, our helicopters sometimes shoot down up to 40% of drones in their sectors. That is why we are scaling up this direction as well,” Syrskyi explained during a briefing cited by Militarnyi.
