Today, August 24, the Ukrainian military used the Palyanitsa drone missile against the Russian invaders for the first time.
About this during the celebrations on the occasion of the Independence Day of Ukraine reported President Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
According to him, the missile-drone is a weapon of an “absolutely new class”. The result of the use of this drone missile was defeating the enemy, the president says.
“And we know that it will be very difficult for Russia to even pronounce what exactly arrived. It is difficult to counteract, but it is still very easy to understand why,” he added.
