General Christian Freuding, head of the Situation Centre for Ukraine in the German Ministry of Defence, spoke about the scale of the threat to Ukraine. According to him, Russia is rapidly expanding drone production to let their widespread usage in the war. General Freuding's words are quoted in the Kiev Post portal.
The planet has never seen specified an attack
Russia late launched an attack on Ukraine utilizing over 500 drones. What indicates that he plans even more powerful blows? Freunding quoted by the Ukrainian portal explains that drone factories work in Russia in full steam. It was mainly thanks to China, which ceased selling Ukraine components for drone production and redirected all exports to Russia.
Thanks to this, as reported by Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR), Russia produces up to 170 drones and shahed-type lures daily. By the end of the year, the regular production of drones can increase to 190 units per day.
Speech about the Shahed-136 (Geran-2) drones, FPV and another types of "kamikaze". Russia massively uses them to attack residential buildings, hospitals, schools, power stations, ports and another civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. specified drones are frequently sent to Ukrainian cities at night to increase intellectual force on the civilian population.
Is there any solution?
No attacks, but you can effort to minimize their actions. Freuding notes that conventional air defence methods are unprofitable. The drone costs EUR 30-50 000 and the Patriot rocket costs over EUR 5 million. He argues that it would be much better to build a fleet of drones or another means to knock down Russian unmanned workers, for a maximum of EUR 2-4 1000 per unit. As the Ukrainians themselves claim, with adequate support from the West, they are able to do so. president Zelenski said publically that specified solutions are ready to be implemented.
According to HUR, Russia is presently able to send up to 500 drones to Ukraine in 1 night. The Russians have a supply of about 6,000 impact drones (Geran-2 / Shahed-136 / and Harpy-A1) as well as over 6,000 decoy drones. The second do no harm, but destabilize anti-aircraft defense.
