Ukraine Launched 150 Drones At Moscow Oblast In One Day

In October 2025, Ukraine launched 150 drones at Moscow Oblast in one day. Not a single drone was able to impact.

Today, in June 2026, Ukraine launched hundreds of drones at Moscow, of which a minimum of 8 impacted (probably more).

Russia’s interception rate of Ukrainian long-range drones is still very high, probably over 90%, but Ukrainian drones are of much higher quality now, and the Ukrainian command has learned from past mistakes on how to successfully carry out these long-range strikes.

I don’t think Russia’s air defence has gotten any worse. I would even argue it’s improved because of their interceptor drone programme.

One thing people forget to take into account is the fact that Russia is the largest country in the world, making it impossible to completely cover it with air defence.

The fact is, Ukraine hast just gotten a lot better at drone warfare, and is continuing to improve their capabilities.
