Ukraine Strikes Back: Winter Payback in Russia's Drone Blitz

Ukraine and Russia have engaged in a winter drone campaign, with Ukraine launching strikes against several regions, including Moscow, in retaliation for a record-breaking barrage of drones from Russia. Russia reported shooting down 24 drones over its territory and over 50 UAVs in eastern Ukraine. The drone strikes coincided with a major storm in southern Ukraine, causing blackouts in Crimea and Donetsk. Both sides are expected to continue their drone and missile campaigns in an attempt to gain an advantage. Ukraine is developing new drone platforms, including the "Beaver" long-range UAV, which could potentially reach Moscow. Ukraine aims to become a world leader in drone production after the war ends.
