The Ukrainian army has reduced the number of combat flights of Turkish Bayraktar anti-aircraft missiles in the east of the country due to Russia's air defense system.

Axar.az informs this was reported by the American Institute for War Studies.

According to the report, Ukrainian officials are also concerned that the US-provided Gray Eagle drones will be shot down by reinforced Russian air defenses over the Donbas:

"The number of air operations in Ukraine has been reduced to 20-30 a day. Russian forces prefer to deploy air defense systems in eastern Ukraine to protect artillery systems. However, Ukrainian planes and anti-aircraft guns have continued to operate in the Kherson region over the past week, hitting a number of successful targets.
