Russian drones are becoming an increasing threat to Ukraine. According to The New York Times, while Russia previously used 43 drones in one night, this month their number has risen to about 800. Such an increase has been made possible by large-scale production of drones at Russian factories and even involving schoolchildren in creating these unmanned aerial vehicles.
Ukraine is facing a serious challenge due to the sharp increase in drone supplies and the use of cutting-edge technologies by Russia. The attacks are aimed at defense industry facilities, energy, and civilian infrastructure, using strike drones and missiles.
“Although Russia claims to be targeting only military facilities, strikes often hit hospitals, schools, and residential buildings, resulting in civilian casualties,” experts emphasize.
Ukraine is also using drones for counterattacks on Russian territory. However, Russian attacks remain more extensive, forcing the Ukrainian army to change tactics.
The Russian use of drones in the war against Ukraine is escalating, creating serious threats to the civilian population and infrastructure. The Ukrainian army is working on measures to counter these attacks and to defend the country more effectively.
