Ukrainian civilian volunteers are actively participating in the country’s defense by forming mobile air defense units to counter ongoing Russian drone strikes. Operating primarily at night, these volunteer groups utilize searchlights, thermal imaging, and mounted machine guns to track and destroy incoming loitering munitions, such as Shahed-type drones. This grassroots effort helps protect critical infrastructure and residential areas, supplementing the efforts of Ukraine’s professional military forces during relentless aerial attacks.
