Border guards in the

Kharkiv region

destroyed a Russian drone with the inscription "helicopter" on it. 

This is reported by the State Border Service. 

"Border guards as part of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on the eastern front continue to effectively destroy the manpower and equipment of the enemy," the message reads.

The Russians' quadcopter was tracked by the border guards above their positions.

The enemy drone was correcting the tank that was firing at their unit.

"To defeat the aerial corrector, the border guards opened fire with small arms. The Ukrainian fighters shot down the occupier's drone. Now this "bird" with the inscription "helicopter" will become a good exhibit in the hall of combat glory," the DPSU added.

Earlier, the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat reported that the air defense forces of Ukraine destroyed 84 enemy unmanned aerial vehicles

in the first two days of 2023, January 1-2

.

This is a 100% result.

It will be recalled that military expert Oleksandr Musienko stated that Russia is using Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones to attack Ukraine in 

order to overload air defense and intimidate Ukrainians.

 The occupiers do not even count on the drone hitting the target.

However, the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, said that such 

tactics of the enemy will not work.
