“Why Russian Drones Are Not Caught When They Cross the Border into Ukraine: Explanation by National Guard Staff Officer”

To the viewer’s question “Why aren’t Russian drones “mowed down” as soon as they fly over the border of Ukraine?” Jānis Slaidiņš, NBS major, National Guard staff officer, answered very clearly and directly in the TV24 program “Actual about the war in Ukraine”.

The viewer is confused as to why these drones are not spotted already when they cross the border.

J. Slaidiņš emphasizes that the front is very long, adding that it must be understood that air defense is deployed widely enough, focusing on the largest cities.

It makes no sense to “pull” this air defense too close to the front lines, where it will be threatened by Russia, he explains.

As you know, Russia regularly carries out drone attacks on Ukraine. The LETA agency also reported that Russia attacked the capital of Ukraine with drones on the night of Monday, injuring several people.

Ukraine’s air defense forces destroyed more than 30 Russian Shahed drones that attacked Kyiv overnight, Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, told Telegram.
