Quote: "The ‘Anniversary’ target was another Orlan-10 UAV of the Russian invaders. We were hoping for a little more, but ruscist aircraft are not frequent guests above the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
Details: According to Ignat, since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, anti-aircraft missile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been destroying all types of air targets: aeroplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, UAVs, and sometimes missiles fired by operational and tactical systems.
On 10 June, two Orlan-10 operational-tactical UAVs were destroyed by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Two more Orlans were shot down by the air defence of the Ground Forces.
The spokesman added that the strike aircraft of the Air Forces have conducted missile and airstrikes on Russian equipment, positions, and field infrastructure. At least five armoured vehicles have been destroyed and several dozen Russian occupiers have been killed so far.
