“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)
