In September of this year, Russia struck Ukraine with Shahed drones every day. 1107 Russian drones were shot down, according to Army Inform.

This month, the Russians launched their drones every day. Some of them were destroyed by Ukrainian air defense forces. Some were lost to electronic warfare, and a few more crashed in Belarus or returned to Russia.

On average, 44 Shaheds were launched across Ukraine every day. In particular, on the night of September 30, Russia launched 76 air attack vehicles across Ukraine, including 73 Shahed drones. But last night, the Russian invaders launched only 22 attack drones.
