Over 800,000 Occupier Targets Hit by Ukrainian Drones Since Early 2026

Ukraine’s Defense Forces Achieve Major Milestones

According to Главком: Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced that since the beginning of 2026, unmanned systems units have struck more than 800,000 verified enemy targets. According to him, drones now account for over 90% of all strikes against the adversary, significantly degrading the military capabilities of Russian forces. Approximately 167,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or severely wounded. May 2026 was the most effective month for Ukraine’s defense forces, with over 181,000 targets hit and 31,530 occupiers eliminated or seriously injured.

'Our defense forces are systematically weakening the enemy’s military potential-disrupting logistics and striking critical targets deep in the rear. Today, drones deliver more than 90% of all hits against the enemy.' - Mykhailo Fedorov

To incentivize troops, each confirmed strike earns them eBaly, which can be exchanged through the Brave1 Market for drones, UAV control systems, electronic warfare equipment, and components. Pilots from the Sirius 118 unmanned systems battalion of a separate mechanized brigade set an absolute all-Ukrainian record for intercepting enemy drones.

Emerging Technologies and Their Impact

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine is preparing new drones capable of striking targets at distances of up to 3,000 km. One example is the new Fire Point drones, which were used to hit an oil refinery in the Tyumen region at a range of 2,070 km. The total flight path of that drone was 2,500 km.

'Thanks to the eBaly system, we can see which technologies and units deliver the best results and quickly scale those solutions across the entire military. Following the president’s orders, we continue to exhaust the enemy simultaneously in three domains-in the sky, on the ground, and in the economy. I thank every soldier for their results. You are shaping the new doctrine of warfare in real time.' - Mykhailo Fedorov

Ukrainian defense forces continue to focus on striking a wide range of targets, including:

• personnel
• air defense systems
• artillery
• multiple rocket launchers
• drones
• UAV control systems
• transport vehicles
• command posts
• ammunition depots
• electronic warfare systems

It is important to note that the three domains of exhausting the enemy cover operations in the air, on land, and in the economy.

The growing effectiveness of unmanned systems in Ukraine underscores the importance of technological innovation in modern warfare. The deployment of new drones capable of hitting targets at great distances highlights advances in defense technology and strategic planning. These achievements could significantly alter the course of the conflict, enabling Ukraine to maintain the initiative on the battlefield and inflict heavy losses on the adversary.

As the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to achieve significant milestones, it's important to note that their innovative use of advanced FPV drone technology has played a crucial role in neutralizing a substantial number of enemy targets. This development not only enhances their operational efficiency but also underscores the evolving landscape of modern warfare.
