The spokesperson for the Joint Press Center of the Tavria Defense Forces, Oleksandr Shtupun, told Radio Svoboda.
"At this stage, we are destroying them with missile strikes. The enemy is not flying into the area of our air defense. Because our soldiers have learned to shoot them down quite professionally. That's why the enemy strikes from afar," he said.
The spokesman also added that the effectiveness of Russian helicopters at long range is much lower than if they flew closer. However, they are simply afraid of Ukrainian missiles.
