Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russian drones have destroyed enemy military equipment valued at more than $2 billion. He urged Western governments and taxpayers to reconsider the financial support they provide to Ukraine through weapons shipments. Putin acknowledged the contribution of the All-Russia People's Front Forum, which has supplied approximately 110,000 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various types to Russian forces. Analysts note that Russia is currently gaining an advantage in the drone conflict against Ukraine due to a substantial increase in domestic drone production and technological advancements, including the use of fiber-optic cable drones rather than those relying on electronic signals. These developments have enabled Russia to intensify bombardments on Ukrainian cities, with projections suggesting the capability to launch attacks involving up to 1,000 drones in the near future.
