Russia has increased the number of drone attacks to 800 per night: how Ukraine will counteract.
The Growing Threat of Russian Drones to Ukraine
According to inkorr.com: Russian drones are becoming an increasingly serious threat to Ukraine. According to The New York Times, while Russia previously operated about 43 drones per night, this month that number has risen to approximately 800. This increase has been made possible by active drone production at Russian enterprises and the involvement of youth, including schoolchildren, in the process of making drones.
Ukraine faces serious challenges due to the rapid increase in drone supplies and the implementation of cutting-edge technologies by Russia. These attacks are aimed at defense industry objects, energy, and civilian infrastructure, where strike drones and missiles are used.
'Although Russia claims it attacks only military targets, strikes often hit hospitals, schools, and residential buildings, leading to civilian casualties,' experts emphasize.
At the same time, Ukraine is also using drones for counterattacks on Russian territory. However, the scale of Russian strikes remains larger, forcing Ukrainian military forces to change their tactical approaches.
The use of drones by Russia in the war against Ukraine is steadily increasing, creating serious threats to the civilian population and vital infrastructure. The Ukrainian armed forces continue to work on effective measures to counter these attacks and improve the country's defense system.
The situation with drones continues to raise concern in the international community, as their intense use can lead to further tragedies among the civilian population. It is crucial for Ukraine to receive the necessary support to strengthen its own defensive capabilities in the face of this threat.
