Ukraine outpaces Russia in long-range drone attacks - media

Forbes reports that Russia sent 426 Shahed drones into Ukraine, while Ukraine deployed over 520 drones during the same period.

This marks the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war that Kyiv has launched more drones than Moscow. The article also notes that Ukrainian UAVs have caused significant economic damage to Russian oil refineries and other facilities, due to Russia's weaker defenses. This development may give Kyiv a strategic advantage, according to Forbes.

“Russia appears to be less effective at shooting down the attackers as the Ukrainian strikes appear to be causing greater economic damage on oil refineries and other targets. Ukraine may be gaining the advantage in the strategic war of long-range drone strikes,” the article reads.
