Russian 'suicide drone' launches quadruple this year

The number of Russian drone launches against Ukraine in the first 10 months of this year was 303% higher than in the whole of 2024, according to data from the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Axar.az informs, citing Sky news, Russia's use of Shahed-type suicide drones in Ukraine has surged this year.

Russia has launched over 44,000 Shahed and Shahed variant drones, which is more than quadruple 2024's launches, according to CSIS data.

Around 64% of those were destroyed, down from 68% in 2024 - as the scale of attacks stretches Ukraine's air defences.
