In addition to the fact that Shark has shown its ability to work in the conditions of electronic warfare, since the action took place on the northern outskirts of Donetsk: above Zasyadko mines and in the south of the Donetsk airport above the city itself. That is, where the occupiers have precisely deployed all available means of radio-electronic warfare since 2014.
