Ukrainian air defenses shoot down such drones every day. Most often, Russians use Orlan-10, Zala and SuperCam drones for reconnaissance in Ukraine. Iranian-made Forpost or Mohajer-6 drones are much less common, with the latter mostly operating over the Black Sea, Pletenchuk added.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported shooting down all four Russian Shaheds and one drone of an unspecified type out of five during an overnight attack. Russia also launched an S-300 missile.
