How Ukraine reached parity with Russia in long-range capabilities... Analysts from the Back And Alive Foundation analyzed Ukraine's transition from local frontline strikes to the systemic employment of long-range drones. The volume of drones Ukraine has launched has surged from 110 units in January 2024 to over 7,000 in March 2026. Throughout 2025, Ukraine increased our launch frequency fivefold. In March 2026, Ukraine even managed to surpass the Russia in the number of launched and recorded drones. Flight Geography and Extreme Ranges 🔹Ukrainian drones are increasingly detected at facilities located hundreds and thousands of kilometers from the frontline. The number of Russian regions where they are spotted is steadily growing. 🔹This evolution is not just about quantity, but also about a significant increase in operational range. For instance, in February 2026, an oil refinery in the city of Ukhta (Komi Republic) was struck—over 1,800 km from the Ukrainian border. A Nightmare for Russian Air Defense 🔹As Ukraine deploys more drones, Russian air defense forces must track and intercept a vastly higher number of simultaneous targets, leading to system saturation. 🔹The Russian military is forced to make a choice: protect assets near the frontline to cover their troops, or deploy systems deep into the interior to defend industrial and energy infrastructure. Given Russia’s vast landmass, it is physically impossible to cover all critical sites with limited resources. 🔹Furthermore, the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to degrade Russian air defense capabilities. Over the past year, open-source intelligence (OSINT) has confirmed 172 hits on Russian air defense systems through video footage; however, the actual number of successful strikes is significantly higher. 📹📈Cumulative number of days on which at least one UAV reached the region (from January 2024 to March 2026).show more

If the Russians start to use this system to... drop landmines deeper into Ukraine, they would need to fly very low to have any chance of one landing on a road. This will restore the use of mobile ground fire teams, sidelined by the move of Geran-2s to maximum altitude. 3/show more

🚨🇷🇺 NATO AIR DEFENSES IN PANIC: RUSSIA REVIVES SOVIET... MISSILE ON GERAN DRONES For 50 years, missiles made to shoot down enemy planes flew on fast fighter jets. Then the same missiles were put on trucks on the ground. Now Russia is putting one of those missiles back up in the air — on its Geran drones. The Soviet R-60 missile is flying again, but now it uses simple modern parts to find its target. 🔸 Soviet R-60 missile is now carried by Geran drones — changes to the drone body for launching it became normal by spring 2026. 🔸 Human operator uses a live video feed to fly the drone near the target — then the missile's sensor locks on by itself and flies straight to it. No radar needed on the drone. 🔸 Fake dummy R-60 missiles already used on some Gerans in 2026 — this tricks enemy air defenses into wasting their expensive missiles on nothing. 🔸 Mix of Soviet missile tech and budget everyday electronics creates a low-cost threat that could make defending against these drones very expensive for Western countries. Do you think NATO can catch up to Russia in military technology reinvestment? Follow to keep up with the latest military and technological trends.show more

Ukraine is interested in a defense partnership with Spain.... And today, during a meeting with the leaders of Spain’s defense companies and Spain’s Minister of Defense Margarita Robles, we discussed areas of cooperation. Spanish manufacturers presented their developments: anti-drone systems, turrets, aerial and ground drones, long-range detection radars, and munitions. They outlined their production capacity, the potential uses of their equipment, and its technical characteristics. Thank you for the meeting. We will continue working to build greater joint strength in our defense.show more

🇮🇷⚔️🇮🇱The situation with Iranian Shahed-136 UAVs used against Israel... is changing. While their use was rare before, now the cases have increased. The main problem is that the Shahed represents a new type of threat for which Israel's air defenses are not prepared. Unlike the predictable Qassams, the drones are low-flying and stealthy, often attacking from unexpected directions. Israel's response has so far been limited, using AH-64 Apache attack helicopters to intercept drones and using air defense missiles sparingly. This is reminiscent of the mistakes of the first months of the war in Ukraine, when drones were shot down using expensive systems. In practice, this means that Iran is testing the capabilities of Israel's air defenses. Each successful drone provides intelligence on the weak points of the defense. If Israel does not adapt its air defense system to the threat of a swarm of UAVs, Iran may begin mass use of drones - 50-100 at a time. Ria_novosti_rossiyashow more
