Russia used five times as many jet-powered drones against Ukraine in July as in June and the Ukrainian Air Force says the faster UAVs are more difficult to intercept.

Russia targeted Ukraine with 224 attack UAVs during the day on 29 August. Most of the drones were heading toward Kyiv.

Ukrainian presidential adviser Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov says Russia's jet-powered Shahed drone use rose from 1,500 to over 2,500 in a month.
