Europe and Russia
Cold war with drones between Moscow and NATO
With the support of Iran and China, Russia slowly increased its drone production capacity and in September 2024 had the ability to use about 1000 of these aircraft per month. At the end of last year, an attack was recorded in which as many as 188 drones were used, while in May of this year, in one case, as many as 500 of these aircraft were sent to Ukrainian targets. It is estimated that at the end of the summer, the Russian army reached the ability to use as many as 6000 larger drones per month. If we take into account the annual production of around one million small and micro FPV drones, the only limiting factor becomes the number of operators, not the number of drones
