Massive drone attacks: an aviation expert answered why Russia is launching more and more drones over Ukraine

Russia is increasingly attacking Ukraine with UAVs. At the same time, missile strikes have recently decreased. So, the enemy has changed tactics, because they have very few missiles at certain positions.

This is what analyst and aviation expert Kostyantyn Kryvolap said on the air of "24 Kanal". According to him, the Russians have fewer missiles left, Kryvolap believes.

In his opinion, during the massive missile attack on October 10, 2022, the Russians spent from 600 to 800 million dollars. During the first shelling, the enemy attacked with missiles that he had. Now he does it with the ones he produces.

"That's why the Russians have very few missiles of a certain type left. They understand that when they run away, they will have to shoot back somehow. They can't use everything," Kryvolap believes.

At the same time, Russia was able to accumulate many drones, including the Iranian “Shaheds”. These UAVs can perform many tasks.

"They are cheap. They can be used to solve many issues. For example, to find out which anti-aircraft defense system we have, how many launchers we have, where they are located, to understand where we have gaps in air defense," Kryvolap said.

The Russians are looking for new tactical positions in order to understand what more damage they can do to Ukraine, the expert believes.
