Russia launched over 3,500 drones in ten days: how many did air defense neutralize?

In the first ten days of November, Russian forces launched 3,519 attack drones of the Shahed, Gerber, and Parody types into Ukraine. Ukrainian defenders neutralized 3,068 of them. At the same time, the occupiers are increasingly using faster jet drones.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the military, from November 1 to 10, Russia attacked Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure daily with strike drones.

In total, during this period, the enemy used 3,519 drones, of which the Defense Forces neutralized 3,068. Thus, the Ukrainian military managed to neutralize more than 87% of the drones.

The General Staff paid special attention to the change in Russian attack tactics. The occupiers are increasingly using jet UAVs, which have higher speeds and pose an additional threat to air defense.

In ten days, Russia launched 1,695 of these drones, almost half of the total. Ukrainian defenders neutralized 1,406 jet drones.

Another 1,824 drones were of conventional types. Of these, the Defense Forces neutralized 1,662, which is over 91%.

The General Staff emphasizes that Russian troops are constantly looking for new ways to break through Ukrainian air defenses. In response, the Defense Forces are improving methods of countering drones and increasing capabilities for protecting airspace.

As a reminder, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck important enemy military targets on November 10 and the night of November 11. The control points of Russian drones and units of the occupation army came under attack.
