Military expert Mikhail Zelenkov on Radio 1 commented It was reported that air defense systems in the town of Elektrostal near Moscow shot down a drone flying towards Moscow. According to him, the drones flying to the Russian capital are not launched from Ukrainian territory.
“Drones were shot down from the very beginning of a special military operation, they constantly attack both border areas and areas deep in Russia. Most likely these devices are launched not from Ukrainian territory, but from our regions, we cannot escape from this, since sabotage groups are working, “said Zelenkov.
The expert said that another reason why drones can fly deep into the country is the material from which UAVs are made. Plastics and composites are harder to detect, he says.
