Ukrainian Baba Yaga heavy multicopters shifting to logistics and relay roles under interceptor pressure

Published 11 July 2026

A Russian military engineer analyst argues that Ukrainian Baba Yaga heavy multicopters are losing strike effectiveness as Russian interceptor numbers grow, and are being repurposed as logistics ‘air bridges’ — ferrying supplies to front-edge positions where interception is significantly harder — and as relay hubs for FPV swarms. The analyst notes that Russian interceptor coverage remains too thin to halt this transition, and recommends Russia prioritise the same logistical role for its own heavy copters rather than continuing to invest in them for direct strike missions.
