The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already destroyed more than 1,500 enemy Orlan-10 UAVs.

Yuriy Ihnat, Spokesperson for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said during the national news telethon that the Ukrainian troops had destroyed more than 1,500 enemy UAVs of Orlan-10 operational-tactical type only, not counting quadcopters and tactical-level UAVs.

Evaluating the current capabilities of the air forces of the aggressor state, he emphasized that the Russian aircraft grouping which attacked Ukraine from several dozen airfields increased quantitatively but the quality became much worse.

"Unfortunately, they still have the potential to launch attacks from the air, and our military pilots are doing everything possible, and sometimes even impossible, to oppose the aggressor, trying to shoot down its missiles and UAVs," Ihnat emphasized.
