Russian milblog discusses Ukrainian deep-strike drone raid tactics and air-defense cost exchange
A Russian milblog post summarizes claimed Ukrainian deep-strike drone raid tactics, including decoy drones allegedly flown without warheads to exhaust air-defense missiles and routing flights based on communications coverage (including Starlink over water). It argues traditional SAM-based air defense is economically unsustainable against mass raids and advocates cheaper distributed detection and drone interceptors.
