Threat from drones

Noted Ukrainian expert on electronic warfare and communication systems Serhiy 'Flash' Beskrestnov shared this data on Telegram:

'At present, the Russians have accumulated about 2000 UAVs (of which about 1400 are Shaheds) that they can deploy. These 2000 UAVs can be launched in the format of 2-3 massive strikes or evenly distributed over the winter period,'

— he noted.

The expert also emphasized the unprecedented level of threat that Ukrainian air defense has already faced. The largest drone attack occurred in the autumn of this year:

'The maximum number of enemy UAVs launched in a day was 750. This was the strike on September 7, 2025,'

— he reported.

According to the expert, this figure does not take into account the reserve stock of UAVs that may be used in future attacks.

It should be noted that earlier it was reported that Russia continues to improve drones for attacks on the territory of Ukraine, implementing new technologies and increasing the power of explosives.
