Drones are the nightmare of this war, for all sides. Earlier this year the SISS estimated that Ukriane has 10-12 thousand drones of all types in operation, Russia 15-20 thousand. Often the Ukrainian drones initially feature new innovations owed to improvisation and need, which then get copied and latwer surpassed by Russia. Russia on the other hand has a far bigger mass production basis, thats why SISS estimated further that the numerical lead of Russian drones over ukrainian drones in combat will constantly grow, helped by the fact that Western chips and high tech components still find their way into the Russian military production, and in significant, probably production-deciding quantity (I'm not impressed there, dear West...
).
Impressive operation carried out by Ukraine with their limit means there. Probably stuff for a later movie. The plane losses add to the Russians' itching, but it will not stop them, I fear.
Civilian Ukraine will become an even bigger targets for the wrath of the emperor. Its beyond doubt that there will be retaliation. And we know the Russian target preferences.
