Russian MoD claims 108 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones intercepted

Bottom line

Russian MoD claims mass interception of 108 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones across multiple regions, reinforcing recent claims of high interception rates.

Why it matters

Confirms continued Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on Russian interior targets, testing Russian air defense coverage and response times across vast distances.

Russian MoD claims 108 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones were intercepted and destroyed over Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kursk, Orel, Sverdlovsk, Smolensk, Tula, Moscow, Bashkortostan, Crimea, Tatarstan, Krasnodar, Khanty-Mansi, Yamalo-Nenets, and the Black Sea. This claim extends previous reports of mass interceptions, suggesting a sustained or intensified aerial campaign by Ukraine against Russian territory, or potentially inflated Russian air defense metrics.
