Report: Ukrainian Drone Attacks Inside Russia Use Western Intelligence
The Economist reported Sunday that Ukraine’s increasing drone attacks inside Russia are carried out using intelligence gathered by Kyiv’s Western backers.
The report cited sources close to Ukrainian drone developers and Ukrainian military insiders, including a drone coordinator within Ukraine’s military intelligence. It detailed the planning that goes into the drone attacks, which involves gathering intelligence on Russian air defenses.
“Operators launch in the early morning (when defenders’ concentration might be lapsing) and use an order of attack designed to keep air defenses busy. They gather intelligence (often from Western partners) about radars, electronic warfare, and air-defense assets,” the report reads.
