"Thanks to the vigilance and professionalism of our defenders, this week four unmanned aerial vehicles were downed, used to fire at the Republic's residents," he said.

Basurin explained that one of the drones named Komandor was brought down in the so-called 'grey zone'. It was equipped with a shaped charge KZ-6 used to penetrate armor and concrete walls.
