Today, I visited frontline positions at one of the most difficult areas of the frontline, in Robotyne, to speak with warriors in person and award those who have shown remarkable results in combat in recent weeks. I thanked them for their bravery and endurance in defending our positions and country. I also visited Zaporizhzhia, the East Air Force Command, and Kryvyi Rih. The primary focus was on defending our regions, people, social sphere, infrastructure, and industry from Russian air attacks. We are working to strengthen our ability to shoot down Russian missiles and drones. Our Air Force warriors and mobile air defense groups who counter Russian air terror deserve our gratitude and further strengthening. In this regard, we are also preparing for new negotiations with partners.

🇬🇧 RAF Typhoons in the Middle East are now armed with brand new laser-guided anti-drone missiles after a lightning-fast 8-week development and deployment. The APKWS system turns cheap rockets into precision killers. Drones are changing everything, and the RAF just showed they can adapt ridiculously fast. From drawing board to shooting down threats in the Middle East in under two months. The drone defense arms race is cooking 👀 Source: ForcesNews YT

.Rep. Matt Van Epps: Continuing to fully invest in special operations in SOCOM now, both as an asymmetric capability, but also as that force to fill the gap until we have both the Navy and the Air Force back to where we need them, is really critical.
