Russia has used a total of 7,700 these drones since it began deploying jet-powered UAVs. Their number has been increasing every month: 350 in June, 1,500 in July, 2,850 in August, and about 1,900 so far in September, according to Ihnat.
“This shows that the enemy is not stopping, that they are finding ways to procure those jet engines and other components and assemble them in Russia. About half of the Shaheds are now jet-powered UAVs. This is not encouraging for us,” Ihnat emphasized.
