Ефективність збиття реактивних «Шахедів» у жовтні становила 66% - Генштаб

According to Ukrinform, this was announced by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook.

In October, the Russian Army deployed 6473 Shahed-131/136 and Shahed-238 UAVs against Ukraine.

Ukrainian fighter and army aviation, anti-aircraft missile units, mobile fire groups, operators of unmanned systems and electronic warfare equipment are working on the destruction of enemy drones.

"This is a significant result, especially given the scale of Russian air attacks and their complications: changing the routes and altitudes of flights, combining attack drones with false targets, missile strikes," the General Staff stressed.

At the same time, the military reminded that even the effective work of the Ukrainian air defense does not completely eliminate the threat.

Context

The effectiveness of countering Shahed-type jet attack drones over the past month was 66 percent, conventional Shahed-type drones neutralize even better – 89 percent.

As reported by Ukrinform, as of October 29, the total combat losses of Russian troops in manpower for the current month are 49,040 people, which is the largest figure since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

What's next

“The Ukrainian Defense Forces need more effective means of countering Russian ballistic missiles, while continuing to integrate and strengthen the multi-level air defense system, introducing new approaches to detection and neutralization air threats, "the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted.
