The comparison of the effectiveness of anti-aircraft defence measures with respect to the Shahid drones leaves no uncertainty what is more profitable to apply - especially if the cost is taken into account - the effect. This is seen especially during the largest air strike since February 24, 2022, erstwhile 267 Russian Shahids were launched towards Ukraine. Ukrainian defenders managed to knock as many as 252 unmanned drones off this mass, with: 114 drones being knocked down disrupting their on-board systems, and the remaining 138 physically intercepted Ukrainian anti-aircraft defense.
