Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi inspected the operation of air defense units in southern Ukraine during a working visit and issued a number of directives to military personnel.
According to Ukrinform, Syrskyi announced the visit on Facebook.
“During a working trip to southern Ukraine, I visited Air Command South. I inspected the organization of combat operations at the command post, as well as the work of air defense missile and artillery crews carrying out missions to protect Ukraine’s airspace. I received reports from the commander, Brigadier General Oleksandr Humeniuk, and other officials regarding the current situation, the enemy’s tactics, the state of the air defense system, and ways to improve its effectiveness,” Syrskyi said.
According to the Commander-in-Chief, special attention was given to command and control of air defense assets, the speed of information exchange, coordination among all components of the Defense Forces, and adapting the air defense system to Russia’s evolving tactics involving the mass use of strike drones and various types of missiles.
Syrskyi stressed that Russian forces continue deliberate attacks on southern Ukraine’s port infrastructure, including ports, grain terminals, maritime logistics facilities, and other civilian infrastructure.
