The work of Ukrainian mobile air defense

fire groups

becomes more difficult at night.

After all, it is more difficult to spot an enemy target without having radars to detect it.

Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced this on the air of the telethon.

According to him, mobile fire groups work more effectively during the day than at night.

The representative of the Armed Forces noted that aerial targets are shot down at night by means of radar tracking to the target.

That is, they have radars that detect it and destroy it, he explained.

"Mobile fire groups are also armed with anti-aircraft guns and multi-caliber machine guns, MANPADS, but you have to see the target. At night, this work becomes more difficult. Yes, there are searchlights and certain means for identifying targets. However, not everything is so simple, and the range of the above-mentioned weapons is quite short. This complicates the work of mobile air defense at night and in conditions of poor visibility," Ignat said.
