A few days ago, the Russian military tops assured that it had completely destroyed all Ukrainian armed drones and disabled most of the air defense systems and airfields.
Before the invasion, Ukrainian officials said they had approximately 20 Bayraktar TB2s. The country also had entered deals with Turkey to purchase more.
On Tuesday, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said the war was “like a nightmare” for Russia and hailed the Ukrainian resistance effort.
Ukraine says its forces have killed more than 12,000 Russian troops. Russia has confirmed about 500 losses.
Currently, Ukrainian forces successfully continue to hold the Russian war machine on Kyiv’s northwest outskirts, preventing them from closing in on the capital city.
