Ukraine strikes Russian airfields with homemade weapons in hopes of preventing devastating attacks at home
Ukraine's Air Force spotted 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers in Russian airspace at around 5 a.m. on Aug. 26. In less than three hours, Ukraine was under the largest aerial attack since the start of the full-scale war, with 127 missiles and 109 drones flying into Ukraine.
To attack #Ukrainian cities far from the front, the Kremlin uses strategic #bombers and fighter jets stationed deep inside Russia, along with ground launchers closer to the border.
With a U.S. ban on #missile strikes deep inside Russia still in place, to minimize Russia's capacity to launch mass attacks, Ukraine is forced to employ domestically produced #drones to target #airfields and launch sites.

Opinion: AI complacency is compromising Western defense
While #Russian, #Chinese, and #Iranian drones are easy to destroy using existing Western systems, the costs are prohibitive – ranging from $100,000 to $3 million per target. This unsustainable ratio is the result of decades of complacency and bureaucratic inefficiency.
No legacy Western contractor produces a cost-competitive anti-drone system – though several U.S. and Ukrainian startups are developing them now.

Russia may be using drones to survey Estonian sites of interest
Russia may already be using drones to take photos and video of locations inside #Estonian territory and which it finds of interest, Interior Minister Lauri Läänemets (SDE) said Wednesday.
Drones have also been used in smuggling operations, the minister said.
"Data logs from some of those drones intercepted during smuggling attempts have revealed that they have previously crossed the border, and multiple times, undetected," Läänemets stated.
"If drones can be utilized in smuggling, this means that even explosives or weaponry could also be transported into the country."
