After the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the Be-12 'Chaika' anti-submarine aircraft, Russia began actively using helicopters and reconnaissance drones for surveillance. Military expert Dmytro Pletenchuk emphasized that Russian occupiers are already using a wide range of drones, including models such as 'Orion', 'Forpost', and Iranian 'Mohajer-6'.
In case of further damage to Russian aviation, Ukrainian actions may cause serious problems for the occupiers in ensuring security against drones. Russia may be forced to use less effective means of surveillance, complicating their logistical operations at sea.
