Russian mass strike includes jet-powered Shahed-type UAVs and decoy drones

The report notes a large mixed strike that included Shahed-type UAVs with a significant number described as jet-powered, plus multiple named UAV types and dedicated decoy/imitator drones (“Parodiya”). The notable element is the apparent scaling and routine inclusion of faster jet UAV variants and decoys in a combined raid to complicate Ukrainian air defense and EW response.
