Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces downed 155 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 53 over Kursk Oblast and 13 over Tula Oblast.

At least one person has been killed after Russia launched its largest drone attack on Ukraine since the beginning of its invasion, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday, just hours after US President Donald Trump pledged more military support for Kyiv and accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of throwing “bullsh*t” over peace talks.

Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 60 drones, mostly Shahed strike UAVs, according to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The Air Force reported that the attacks came from the directions of Kursk and Millerovo.

As of today, we have experience using more than a dozen different modules installed on ground drones. In my opinion, there is no task a ground drone cannot perform instead of a soldier,” Oleksandr said.

Ukraine and Russia have escalated their shadow war of espionage, sabotage, and assassinations, with both countries claiming a growing list of captured agents, intercepted plots, and cross-border attacks.

John Wagner, a retired US Army officer and former executive in the Trump administration, said that foreign powers have been keeping a "sharp eye on drone activity between Ukraine and Russia."

Budget documents reveal competition in the procurement process between low-cost FPV drones and traditional loitering munitions. But neither is being acquired in quantity yet.
