Russians shouldn’t fool themselves, cutting off satellite data won’t make life any easier — military expert Zgurets

Defense Express CEO Serhiy Zgurets noted that Ukraine’s drone production is expanding rapidly

He shared these insights on Espreso TV.

"Last night saw the largest drone strike on Russian territory so far. Ukrainian long-range drones hit military and industrial targets in at least 10 regions, including Moscow.

The Russian narrative keeps shifting — early reports claimed 90 drones were downed, but a few hours later, the number jumped to 337. This suggests a far greater number of UAVs are involved in these operations. Planning takes time, with some drones baiting Russian air defenses while others strike key targets," Zgurets explained.

According to him, Ukraine has a bank of pre-identified targets, allowing sustained strikes on military-industrial facilities. These are static targets, making them easier to hit compared to moving battlefield units. Right now, Ukrainian forces are working through this list, and there are plenty of targets left.

"Russians shouldn’t fool themselves — talk of cutting satellite data transmissions won’t magically stop drone strikes. This campaign will continue, and the numbers don’t lie — Ukraine’s drone production is rising, and so is the number of destroyed enemy targets," Zgurets emphasized.
