Russian Mil blogger reports on drone strike statistics

Bottom line

Rubicon Centre published data on 55,000+ strikes: 49.7% drones (29% multirotors, 15% fixed-wing, 5.7% HATs). 0.8% involved EW/counter-drone interaction. Data shows cumulative strike counts over time.

Why it matters

The high percentage of drone strikes highlights the central role of drones in the conflict, while the low EW interaction rate suggests drones are often used in permissive environments.
