The Air Force Command of the UA Armed Forces reports that tonight Ukrainian servicemen destroyed four Iranian Shahed-136 drones at once in the Mykholaiv region, which Russia calls "Geran-2" and has been actively using lately. Apparently, because such drones fly in pairs, only two missiles were needed for four UAVs.
"On September 22, around 20:00, in the Mykholaiv region, soldiers of the anti-aircraft missile brigade of the Odessa Air Command South shot down four Russian kamikaze drones Shahed-136 of Iranian production at once with two medium-range guided missiles," the message reads.
