Ukraine announced a Mi-24 helicopter crashed during combat, killing its crew, while Russian sources claim the aircraft was hit by a missile from a Geran UAV.
Newly released video shows a Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet engaging and shooting down a Russian Geran-2 suicide drone at close range using its rotary cannon.
Several Russian unmanned aerial vehicles, believed to be Geran and BM-35 models, operated for hours over the Ukrainian capital's skies without being intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses.
President Zelensky stated that the Ukrainian Air Force has not been effective in intercepting Russia's Geran UAVs and needs to reorganize its operations.
