Russia shifts Kyiv strikes from mass barrages to frequent small drone waves

The post describes a change in Russian strike tactics against Kyiv: instead of short, high-amplitude mass barrages, Russia is reportedly launching many smaller drone groups repeatedly across the day, creating prolonged air-raid alerts. The novelty is the emphasis on frequency and duration to exhaust air defenses and disrupt civilian life and commerce rather than maximizing immediate saturation.
