- trhway 2y agoUkraine is currently manages on some days to send 100-200 drones into several regions in Russia. The drones are slow and small, like with 50kg warheads. Most of these drones are shot down (on various video it seems usually by smaller missiles, like Pantsir's), though a few usually do hit their targets.
