How many kamikaze drones have Russia launched over Ukraine since September 2022

If we update the information, about 3,800 kamikaze drones have been launched on the territory of our country since September of last year, when they began to use (Russians — ed.) kamikaze drones, the spokesman said.

He noted that the Ukrainian military managed to shoot down about 3,000 kamikaze drones.

Ignat emphasised that Western weapons strengthened Ukrainian air defense, but more modern means were needed.

About 3,000 thousand of these drones were destroyed by the Defense Forces. There is something to think about. We still need more systems that will work against kamikaze drones, he added.

What is known about the night attack

Since the evening of December 30, AFU Air Force has been reporting on the launches of the "Shaheds". Drones were known to move toward Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Kyiv regions.

Later, the Air Force clarified that the occupiers launched 49 "Shaheds", of which Ukrainian air defense forces shot down 21.

It is known that the Russians attacked Kharkiv with "Shaheds" after the missile terror. There were hits in the middle of the city.
