Im Jahr 2025 trafen ukrainische Drohnen 819.737 russische Ziele mit Videobestätigung, darunter fast 240.000 getötete oder schwer verwundete feindliche Truppen sowie Zehntausende Fahrzeuge, gepanzerte Systeme und feindliche UAVs.

With recent improvements, 2026 looks likely to smash the impressive 2025 numbers.

MOAR!

Some try to discredit the Ukrainian drone effort with claims that only 20% of drones reach their target. In fact, the numbers given in this presentation demonstrate the truth of the claim.

Ukraine produced 5M drones but reports 819,737 video confirmed strikes. If you assume some successful strikes did not result in acceptable drone evidence, and that a portion of 2025’s production is being kept in reserve to build stocks. you end up with roughly the quoted 20% effectiveness, for drones deployed in 2025.

BUT, when the country has ramped up production so massively, a 20% strike effectiveness still has an incredible impact on the enemy. As noted, the successful 20% of drones caused 240,000 casualties and 30,000 pieces of equipment destroyed!

In 2026, Ukraine’s plans are for a production run of 7M. Consider that the 20% effectiveness is also very likely to improve, due to more experienced crews, introduction of AI and overall better command, control and networking. Taking into account casualties created by means other than drones (infantry actions, artillery and other munitions), Federov’s objective to inflict 50,000 ruZZian casualties/month is entirely plausible. Such a casualty rate will actually shrink the total number of invaders active in Ukraine (at best of times, the Kremlin could only generate 30,000 new soldiers monthly, and this rate has been trailing off throughout 2025, as signing bonuses and other perks for recruits have been scaled back, due to a faltering economy). This will significantly diminish their military potential.

The west just has to keep supporting Ukraine until this calculus of attrition can no longer be ignored, even by the delusional zealots that control the ruZZian state.

Slava Ukraine!

SLAVA UKRAINI! SLAVA ZELENSKI!!!
