By destroying the enemy’s air-defense systems, small UAV aviation clears the sky for larger aircraft.

A representative of the center emphasized this in a comment to ArmyInform:

This is how small UAV aviation opens the sky for larger aviation so it can operate more confidently and do good things”.

Earlier, ArmyInform published a video showing the destruction of a Russian S-300 by bombs dropped from a fixed-wing UAV of another unit. The video also shows the destruction of an Osa system, the “Black Eye” electronic warfare system, and other enemy equipment.

“For example, the Osa system in that video was covering the area of the Avdiivka Coke Plant”, — the representative said.

Much information on targets comes through horizontal connections:

“A lot of our work relies on horizontal links, especially with long-range reconnaissance pilots, who share information with us. We try to hit or suppress those targets. Air-defense systems are top priority since they cover command posts and storage bases”.
