Moscow has lost a total of 5,901 tactical airborne drones since the start of all-out war last February, according to Kyiv.
Russian forces in Ukraine have lost more than 1,000 soldiers, nearly a dozen tanks and almost 100 airborne drones in a single day, Kyiv’s military said on Sunday, after Moscow launched the “largest drone strike” of the more-than 21-month-old war.
Moscow’s troops lost 1,070 fighters and 11 tanks in the past 24 hours, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said in an operational update on Sunday. The Kremlin’s forces in the war-torn country have now lost 324,830 soldiers and 5,513 tanks since the outbreak of all-out war in February 2022, according to Ukraine’s tally.
Russia also lost 93 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the past day, the General Staff said, bringing the total number of UAVs it has lost to 5,901.
Drones, and the rapid development and deployment of new uncrewed technology have dominated the battlefield in Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
