The day before, the Dnieper airport was attacked. According to information posted on Russian military resources, video recordings from a UAV confirmed the destruction of an aviation ammunition warehouse on the territory of the Khimpromsoyuz enterprise. These video frames also indicate the defeat of the S-300 Favorit air defense systems and the infliction of serious damage to two MiG-29 fighters located in the airport parking lot, as Avia.pro journalists previously reported.

The effective use of reconnaissance UAVs not only increases the accuracy and efficiency of strikes, but also reduces risks for one’s own armed forces, allowing one to remotely assess and analyze the combat situation. This, in turn, facilitates more thoughtful and informed decision making at the strategic and tactical levels.
