In September, Russia launched Shahed-type drones over Ukrainian territory every day. A total of 1,107 drones were shot down, according to ArmyInform.
Since the start of the all-out war, Russian forces have regularly carried out massive attacks on Ukraine, targeting mainly energy infrastructure. Almost every night, the occupiers have launched Shahed drones over Ukrainian skies.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, last week alone, Russia used nearly 900 precision-guided bombs and over 300 Shahed drones against Ukraine. Additionally, the occupiers launched more than 40 missiles.
This month, Russian forces have launched their drones daily, with a total of 1,339 drones being used. Some of these were destroyed by air defense forces, others were lost due to electronic warfare, and a few even flew into Belarusian territory or returned to Russia.
Russia used nearly 44 Shaheds to hit Ukraine daily. For instance, on the night of 30 September, the occupiers launched 76 targets against Ukraine, including 73 Shahed drones. However, the previous night, the occupiers launched only 22 attack drones.
