A Ukrainian mobile air defense unit, manned by ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers, is defending Kyiv from Russian drone attacks. Under pressure to shoot down drones packed with explosives, the unit operates quickly in response to air raid warnings, often enduring long hours in the field. Their motivation is a fierce anger toward Russia and a deep commitment to protecting their city and nation. Set up by local officials, the unit exemplifies community resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
"We have ordinary people, not professional soldiers, who are united by the defense of their city and the defense of the state."
"Only when the last one is down do they pack up and call it a night."
