Russian jet powered drones now make up roughly half of nightly strikes. 🇷🇺🇺🇦
Russia's Alabuga plant expanded by 340 hectares in a year and is now turning out roughly 3,000 jet powered drones a month, on a trajectory toward 3,500-4,000 by autumn, while Ukraine's countermeasure pipeline is still at the crashed prototype stage, with one senior commander admitting "we completely screwed up the initiative again." Ukraine interception percentage stops looking like a defense success story and starts looking like a countdown.
This is really a manufacturing race wearing the costume of a technology race.
