NATO is outproducing Russia in drones (something that should have happened 2 years ago) and I don't see Russia having the means to
catch up any more. The double whammy for Russia is that they have a larger air space to protect. Ukraine is now averaging 250 long distance
drones a day (some days have seen 1000+) into Russia, while Russia has not managed to cross 200/day in any month. Ukrainian short range drones
are now 500,000 /month vs 200-250,000 for Russia. Advancing is very difficult with the defenders having a `drone wall'. My sense is in 3-4 months time meaningful advances will be very costly and will not be attempted. Russia has a small window to take whatever remaining territory it needs.
Attacks on Russian infrastructure, will invite the same on Ukrainian infra - glide bombs substituting for more drones.

The Russian "Varyag" unit of the Unmanned Systems Forces has released footage showing the interception of Ukrainian drones. The video captures the destruction of various well-known Ukrainian drone models, including the FP-1, Hornet, Maya, Chaklun, Bulava, and Rubaka. The drones deployed by Ukraine are equipped with Starlink terminals and manufactured in various countries; the specific models of the interceptor drones have not been disclosed.
A video has been published showing a Russian soldier reaching the administrative boundary of Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka. Coordinates: 48.57075, 37.63618

The footage is presented as evidence of the continued advance of Russian assault units toward the settlement and is cited by Russian sources as an indication of absolute Russian control over Konstantinivka.
New footage shows strikes by Russian "Geran-4" jet-powered kamikaze drones against Ukrainian vessels in the Black Sea. The video captures drone strikes on Ukrainian bulk carriers and dry cargo ships in the Dnieper-Bug Estuary and near the port of Mykolaiv. The drones are equipped with a homing system. It is worth noting that, due to Russian strikes in the region, vessels have stopped entering Ukraine's Black Sea ports. These strikes on Ukrainian ships are a response to attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian merchant vessels in the Sea of Azov.
Footage shows a heavy Ukrainian drone being hit by a Russian Igla-V missile fired from a Ka-52 "Alligator" helicopter. The video was filmed by the pilots; the location has not been disclosed. The Igla-V missile is based on the 9M39 surface-to-air missile from the 9K38 "Igla" man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS).
