Ukraine’s air defenses are losing the drone war. Russian engineers have made their Shaheds fly twice as high and much faster while Ukrainian cities rely on systems that can’t keep up.
With the newest Shahed versions carrying increased payloads, each Russian night assault becomes more and more deadly as the Kremlin doubles down on its tactic of terrorizing Ukraine’s civilian population into ceasing resistance.
The numbers are getting ugly. Ukrainian missile systems track 20 targets maximum. Russia launches dozens at once and plans to send hundreds simultaneously, according to Ukrainian outlet Texty. Ukrainian officials failed to prepare adequate countermeasures despite having the groundwork for years.
