During this time, the enemy used more than 2 thousand attack unmanned aerial vehicles of the Shahed-136/131 type. In particular, the first Iranian UAV was shot down by the Ukrainian Defense Forces exactly a year ago – on September 13, 2022. The Department of Strategic Communications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported this on Telegram.
According to military estimates, on average in 2023, the occupiers launched 5.5 Shaheds per day across Ukraine.
And the total cost of the drones released by the invaders, according to various estimates, ranged from 40 to 100 million dollars, which is equal to the average pensions of 200-500 thousand Russians.
Let us recall that the air force reported that on the night of September 13, the Russians launched 44 suicide bombers, which mainly attacked the southern regions of Odessa region and the port infrastructure of the region. Fighter aircraft, units of anti-aircraft missile forces, mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed 32 enemy attack drones.
