Ukrainian long-range attack drones are penetrating Russia's air defense network, targeting its oil refining industry and military logistics. The drones have a 20 to 30 percent penetration rate, which is sufficient to systematically dismantle these industries. This is despite Russia's air defense network being one of the most expensive ever assembled.
The use of cheap, mass-produced drones to breach advanced air defenses has significant implications for the future of warfare, highlighting the potential of asymmetric warfare tactics to counter sophisticated defense systems.
