Ukraine is reportedly preparing to launch around 400 kamikaze drones this evening. Analysts warn that if the current pace continues, with an average of 100 drones per day, these attacks could account for one‑half to one‑third of Russia’s overall drone strikes. Despite recent upgrades to Ukraine’s air defenses, Russian systems are still expected to provide a higher level of protection, and even a 5% penetration could cause significant damage to fixed, soft, and vulnerable targets such as infrastructure and refineries.
