Russia launched a record 300 Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones into Ukraine in May to force “Kyiv to release a stockpile of valuable advanced air defense missiles.” This conclusion was made by the British Ministry of Defense, this is stated in a review published on Twitter on June 5.

At the same time, “Russia is unlikely to have achieved much success.” According to British intelligence, Ukraine neutralized at least 90% of the drones, using mostly older and cheaper air defense weapons.
Russia also likely sought to locate and strike Ukrainian forces far behind the front lines. However, Russia is still very ineffective in hitting such dynamic targets at long range due to its imperfect targeting processes.
