Anti-aircraft gunners work in all weather conditions.

"We reveal the enemy's intentions and organize counteraction with all types of our arsenal of weapons. New types of equipment are also being introduced, which contribute to the earlier arming of the enemy...> The personnel is in constant combat readiness. When an enemy is detected, information is immediately transmitted to all personnel who take measures to destroy it," said the commander of an anti—aircraft artillery battery with the call sign Melnik.

The unit is tasked with preventing an enemy breakthrough in the airspace. As Melnik noted, the military managed to destroy more than 120 UAVs over the past week.
