According to them, Russia continues to use an increasing number of drones in its nightly strike attacks to overwhelm Ukrainian air defense and enable subsequent cruise and ballistic missile strikes.
"The increase in Russia's strike packages in recent weeks is largely due to the Russian Federation's efforts to scale up its defense industrial production, particularly of Shahed drones, 'decoy drones', and ballistic missiles," ISW summarized.
