“Russia said on Monday that Ukraine launched a major drone attack on Moscow with about 250 drones over the weekend, and that wave after wave of long-range drones had been shot down by air defences on their way to the city. ‘Over the past two days, air defense forces have destroyed about 250 enemy UAVs directly on the approach to Moscow and on the second line towards Moscow,’ Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram. The war in Ukraine and now the Iran war have showcased the effectiveness of relatively cheap drones that can attack far-off targets ranging from oil infrastructure to major population centres at a fraction of the cost of a fighter jet.” (03/16/26)
