Russia is now launching more jet drones than Ukraine can handle? 2,500+ strikes in August alone

Russia has dramatically intensified its air war over Ukraine, launching more than 2,500 jet-powered Shaheds in August alone, according to Ukrainian officials. That compares with roughly 1,500 in July, marking a month-on-month surge of at least 67 percent. Ukrainian adviser Serhii Beskrestnov says the drones are effectively being launched “straight from the factory,” while Moscow is also reportedly scaling production of Geran-4 drones and Banderol missiles. With newer jet-powered weapons increasingly joining Russia's attack waves, is Putin reshaping his aerial arsenal to overwhelm Ukraine's improving drone defenses?
