Representative Ilya Yevlash, head of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, emphasized that the “shahids” are different from each other.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to Ilya Yevlash.
According to him, some of the strike “Shahed” type drones flew over Ukrainian territory for more than 24 hours.
“I “I personally saw him flying for more than 24 hours. He circled over various nature reserves. They hunted him there for a long time, but eventually they shot him down. But this can continue for quite a long time, somewhere around 24 hours,” the representative of the Air forces.
At the same time, Ilya Yevlash explained that some drones have a smaller warhead, but a more capacious fuel tank. This affects the duration of its flights. Yevlash noted that, in addition to the “Shaheds”, the Russians have their analogues and “dummy” drones. Their goal is to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense.

Recall that earlier it was reported that the remains of a Russian missile were discovered in Kyiv: its dimensions are staggering (photo).
