Russian MoD claims 180 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs intercepted
Bottom line
The Russian MoD claims 180 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs were intercepted and destroyed over multiple regions and the Black Sea between 08:00-20:00 MSK.
Why it matters
Russian air defense claims are often inflated; analysts should treat high interception numbers with skepticism and verify actual damage reports.
