The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated that thanks to the radio technical troops, Ukrainians receive timely warnings about aerial threats.
“On November 30, we celebrate the Day of Radio Technical Troops – a day honoring those who ensure early detection of air threats and relay information for air defense,” he declared.
He emphasized that it is the servicemen of the radio technical troops who provide timely warnings about dangers.
“Dear radio technicians! Your work often goes unnoticed, but it is crucial for decision-makers,” Syrskyi stressed.
He also noted that during the initial hours of Russia's full-scale invasion, the radio troops managed to maintain command systems and provide essential information to the Air Force.
“I sincerely congratulate the radio troops on their professional holiday. I wish you good health, reliable equipment, and peaceful skies. We remember our fallen comrades who lost their lives at the hands of ruthless Russian occupiers during their service,” he concluded.
