Translation:

⚑️ Every destroyed aerial target: an attack drone or a cruise missile, is not easily given to the defenders of the sky. But every destroyed target is a saved life and health of Ukrainians, surviving property and infrastructure of the country.

I am grateful to everyone who holds the Ukrainian sky!

πŸ’₯ The video shows an anti-aircraft battle on the night of November 14, 2023. The Air Force destroys enemy "shaheds"!

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Together - to victory!

Are those stars it sees in the sky?

Looking at the night sky with legit night vision is the most epic experience. No matter where your standing it looks like your standing at the top of a mountain somehwere with no light pollution.

I seem to recall the Ukrainians explicitly requested that people not record or show footage of air defences in action. Please remove this?

Together - to victory!

You're harming that victory by posting this.

Those were posted by the Ukranian Army. The insignia is in the upper left corner.

This is blank for me.

The insignia is in the upper left corner.

But did they put it there? Did they publish the video?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, through multiple official channels.

The official Telegram channel of the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk.

Again, just a blank screen for me.

The official Telegram channel of the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk.

I'm not involved in Telegram so I have no idea whether this is a genuine account posting genuine information or you've been duped by some fool posing as AFU and posting videos they shouldn't.

Telegram is the AFU main channel of communication. I compiled a list not too long ago.
