In the video, the process of preparing the Skynex system for firing is shown, including Ukrainian Air Force personnel loading ammunition into a 35 mm cannon, operating the control panel, and using the optical system to detect and engage aerial targets.
The primary function of the Skynex is to provide air defense for critical structures, such as fixed military installations and key infrastructure.
