Ukraine deals with massive drone swarm as conflict enters new phase

In a wide-ranging night-time operation Ukrainian forces shot-down over half of incoming unmanned aircraft. The military reported that from 80 attack-drones launched by Russian side they managed to intercept 41 targets while 32 remained un-tracked

The defense ministry stated that no harm came to key facilities or people during this large-scale attack (which happened on Oct 27th). The counter-drone systems worked well despite the overwhelming numbers of targets; however some drones disappeared from radar coverage

Our people face constant attacks against towns and villages with various weapons

Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram

The Ukrainian leader shared weekly statistics about enemy attacks that included:
* More than 1100 guided aerial bombs
* Over 560 attack-drones
* Around 20 missiles

This info shows the scale of air-attacks that Ukraine deals with on a day-to-day basis. The military continues developing its air-defense network while working on detecting hard-to-spot targets
