"The enemy is conducting its training flights, and Ukraine is on air raid alert. Accordingly, the enemy ... knows that we will react to this, that we have restrictive measures in the country, in various institutions and enterprises. That is why they are doing it. There were more takeoffs yesterday," Ihnat said.
According to him, the enemy's flight crew needs to maintain their skills. In addition, enemy aircraft flights may be related to the training of young pilots.
