Defense Express analysts associate this with the strikes of Ukrainian forces in the territory of the Russian Federation involved in the production of Shahd and other drones. However, in September, Russia returned to the tactics of massive blows, probably accumulating a significant arsenal.
Meanwhile, the question remains: whether such activation is the result of increasing production facilities in the Russian Federation, whether it is temporary tactics when the strikes were restrained for the creation of a "reserve" and further overloading of Ukrainian air defense. Experts say that not only shock "Shahda", but also drones-imitators, as well as baits can be used in the composition of these massive attacks.
It is likely that the production of such devices that Russia has been able to increase significantly. We will remind, at night Russian troops launched 810 shock UAVs of the type Shahd, as well as a number of imitators, attacking from eight directions. In addition, nine cruise missiles "Iskander-M/KN-23" were used. At the same time, 54 shock drones and nine rockets reached 33 targets, in eight cases the fall of debris was recorded. This attack has become a record number of drones used.
Prior to that, the Russians have increased the intensity of shelling in the last two weeks: such statistics indicate that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been striking with a certain interval. In other words, the enemy is forced to pause, accumulating the means of defeat before the next large -scale shelling. In these kinds of "windows", Russians can use no more than 130 shock UAVs, as evidenced by the official data of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces.
