Their ability to engage aerial threats is a testament to both their training and their integration into broader defense efforts.
The border guards continue to be a critical frontline component in safeguarding southern Ukraine. Their role extends beyond traditional border security, encompassing active combat roles and air defense responsibilities amid ongoing russian aggression.
