A swarm of 136 drones and missiles: Russia tries to exhaust Ukraine's air defense

Original version ·

It was a busy night for the Air Force as the skies turned into a giant, expensive shooting gallery.

The night was loud. Russia decided to throw basically everything they had in the closet at us, sending a massive swarm of 136 drones and a handful of ballistic missiles. It wasn't just the usual Shahed drones either—they pulled out the 'Gerbera' and 'Parody' decoys, trying to confuse our guys.

Our Air Force spent the night playing a high-stakes game of whack-a-mole. They managed to take down 104 of those flying headaches, plus a few missiles for good measure. It’s wild to think about the sheer amount of money literally burning up in our airspace while people just wanted to get some sleep.

The math is pretty brutal: Russia is betting on sheer volume to outpace our supplies, and every night is becoming a test of who runs out of toys first.

    They are just burning through their entire stock of fake drones to keep us awake. Absurd strategy.
