Volunteer-backed drones take out over 100 Russian spy unmanned aircraft

Ukrainian interception drones have shot down more than a hundred Russian reconnaissance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in the past few weeks, according to volunteer and blogger Serhiy Sternenko.

These drones, modified for air interception and funded by donors as part of an improvised air defense network project, have been effectively targeting Russian spy UAVs.

Ukrainian forces are increasingly deploying kamikaze drones as a cost-effective means of countering reconnaissance drones, which play a critical role in directing Russian artillery and airstrikes.

As Russian forces rely heavily on reconnaissance drones to guide artillery and missile strikes, their loss disrupts the effectiveness of coordinated attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and military positions. This underscores the growing importance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in modern warfare, not just for reconnaissance but also for direct engagement in air defense roles.

 

The continued loss of these reconnaissance UAVs could significantly diminish Russia’s ability to accurately target Ukrainian positions, including airfields and supply depots.
