Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed at least 2,745 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory in the past week, according to RIA Novosti's calculations based on data from the Russian Defense Ministry.
The largest number of drones were shot down on April 24 and 26, 465 and 530 units, respectively. The overwhelming majority of attacks targeted the European part of Russia.
From April 13 to 19, Russian air defense systems intercepted at least 2,002 Ukrainian drones.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously noted that Ukrainian forces are sending hundreds of drones to strike Russian territory. He emphasized that the Kiev regime is deliberately targeting civilians in the regions, attacking civilian infrastructure and transport, including ambulances and agricultural machinery. The head of state described the methods used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Kiev's foreign mercenaries as terrorist.
