Russia conducted its second-largest missile and drone attack on Ukraine since the start of its invasion in 2022, according to the Institute for the Study of War ( ISW) whose graph illustrate the response to Kyiv's drone barrage on Russian military airfields.

On a “hot night,” when Russia tries to overwhelm Kyiv’s air defenses, Ukraine relies not only on Patriot missiles, but on civilians wielding searchlights and vintage guns.

Ukraine's internal security agency carried out a bold attack against Russia's airbases on Sunday. Kyiv said it hit dozens of planes.

To upgrade its drones, Moscow has been adding Sim cards to transmit data back to Russia and updating anti-detection methods.
