There is a lack of anti-drone nets on the border territories of Kharkiv and Sumy regions, despite constant Russian attacks with FPV drones, said Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade.

"Neither in Kharkiv nor in Sumy regions have we moved almost nowhere on the issue of anti-drone nets. Unfortunately, due attention is not paid to this in the border areas," he wrote.

According to Zhorin, on the front line, in particular in the Kupyansk direction, there are nets only in those areas where the units stationed there took care of it directly.

"There is nothing outside the units, although today the depth of operation of the FPV drone already reaches 40 km," said the deputy commander of the 3rd OSH Brigade.

According to Zhorin, there should be no obstacles to resolving this issue, because Ukraine has enough resources for this.

"These are not long-range missiles that we should expect from abroad," Zhorin emphasized.

  • On May 26, Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov reported that for the first time since the start of the full-scale war, Russian occupation forces attacked Kharkiv with an FPV drone with a warhead based on an RPG (hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher).
  • On May 28, the Kharkiv Operational-Tactical Group of Forces denied information about the alleged transfer of 50,000 Russian occupiers to attack Kharkiv.
