Ukraine-Russia Deep Strikes: Escalation in Drone Warfare
Both Ukraine and Russia have conducted large-scale aerial assaults, primarily involving drones, indicating an escalation in deep strike operations. While Ukraine's use of 168 drones and an Iskander-M missile against Russia is confirmed, Russian claims of intercepting 571 and 172 Ukrainian drones in separate incidents remain unverified and are likely inflated given typical engagement patterns.
