"General Chereshnya AIR" on the protection of the Zaporizhzhya sky. Thanks to you, sweeties. Thanks to you!

The height is 4100 - and this is not yet the ceiling.

Happy City Day, Zaporizhia!

They likely primarily act as a signal relay for other drones. We've seen some videos of FPS drones attacking artillery and ammo storage. These are likely many miles behind the enemy lines. Well out of line-of-sight for a ground based platform.

Trying to detect a small drone at high altitudes has got to be close to impossible for radar systems.
