Rusland heeft het aantal luchtaanvallen op Oekraïne enorm opgevoerd en is overgestapt naar een cyclus van 24 uur per dag, zeven dagen per week.
Desondanks daalt het aantal 🇷🇺 treffers. Dat wijst op steeds betere 🇺🇦 onderscheppingscapaciteiten, schrijft @kirichenko.bsky.social:

Oekraïne maakt steeds vaker gebruik van onbemande grondvoertuigen om voorraden te vervoeren, gewonden te evacueren en, in sommige gevallen, voor offensieve acties.

Demand for Ukrainian counter-drone technology is rising fast. After years of large-scale drone warfare, Kyiv has become one of the world’s most experienced developers of systems designed to stop attack drones such as Iran’s Shahed.

They are learning to counter missiles, different types of drones, including fiber-optic drones, from FPV to long-range drones.
“The loss of Starlink is crucial because much of the fighting is done by drones, which account for roughly 60% of all fire damage across the front,” wrote analyst David Kirichenko for the Center for European Policy Analysis.
