This winter, Russia will use drones to target the territory of Ukraine, although it will not give up missile attacks either. According to Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat, this winter will be harder for Ukrainians than the last one. The Air Force spokesman expressed this opinion in an interview with Novynarnia.

"In my opinion, Russia will now use drones many times more than missiles. We're talking about Shaheds, as well as FPV drones and Lancets along the frontline. Of course, they are stockpiling missiles, as the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine regularly states. I think there will be missile attacks," says Ihnat.

On the night of 25 November, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with a record number of Shahed-131/136 drones. The Ukrainian air defence managed to destroy 74 out of 75 Russian drones.
