Russian forces most likely use large numbers of Shahed-type drones and decoy drones to detect and overwhelm Ukrainian air defense and mobile fire groups; Russian forces most frequently launch Shaheds alongside more limited numbers of cruise and ballistic missiles.
The number of Shahed or decoy drones that are reportedly 'lost' (do not reach their intended targets) due to Ukrainian electronic warfare (EW) interference increased significantly over the course of October and November 2024.
Thirty-eight Russian Shahed drones entered Belarusian airspace on November 24 and 25 - a record number of Russian drones violating Belarusian airspace.
Ukrainian electronic warfare (EW) interference is allowing their forces to respond more effectively to Russian strikes.... suggesting that Belarus was unprepared to receive errant Russian drones.
