Ukraine: Russia has significantly increased the use of drones

According to the Fars News Agency International Group, the Russian military has significantly increased the use of drones in southern Ukraine.

Pravda website reported on Monday that in 24 hours In the past, more than 80 drones have been used by the Russians.

“Natalia Homniuk” from the Ukrainian military officials said: “Russia will not stop its activities. Nearby areas are particularly affected by regular bombing and the use of drones. Russia has greatly strengthened this component.”

Russian drones have confused Ukraine’s air defense because they are harder to detect than missiles.

Not long ago, the British Ministry of Defense announced that the Russian “Lancet” drones, as one of the most powerful weapons in the Russian arsenal, are looking to pass the air defense of Ukraine.

This drone is produced by the Russian company “Zala Aero”. Russia mainly uses Lancet drones to attack distant targets, for this reason, their use in reconnaissance operations and attacks on Ukrainian artillery has increasingly increased.

Homniuk said the Russians are using drones capable of launching cluster munitions.

He noted that the Russians are constantly changing their tactics because They are looking for ways to bypass Ukraine’s air defense systems.

Drones have been widely used by Moscow and Kiev since the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. And both sides greatly increase military production as the war escalates.

“Blosov” from the Russian defense officials said: “The annual production volume of drones is 32,000. And this is three times more than the current production volume.” Belusov said, Russia has invested 696 billion rubles equivalent to 7.66 billion dollars in this national project. .

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said that drones can be used in all industries and not just in the military.
