Occupiers use poor weather for air attacks on Ukraine

The occupiers use poor weather conditions for their air attacks on Ukraine.

This was disclosed on the air of the national TV marathon by Yuriy Ihnat, spokesperson for the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The representative of the Armed Forces emphasised that cloud cover complicated the work of mobile fire teams, which primarily needed to visually identify their targets. The deterioration of weather conditions also affects the work of piloted aviation.

However, according to him, bad weather does not hinder cruise missiles or Iranian kamikaze drones, as they fly along pre-set routes.

"There may be some strong crosswind, icing with temperature changes – these can affect the Shahed UAVs. Now, as we can see, the enemy is deploying them even in such weather, when there is both cloud cover and heavy rain," explained Ihnat.

Background. Earlier, Mind reported that the Air Defence had shot down 16 strike drones during a night attack. One drone hit a municipal enterprise in Kryvyi Rih.
