Russia claims a sweeping battlefield breakthrough, saying its forces have destroyed around 600 Ukrainian “Baba Yaga” heavy drones in a relentless aerial fight over Ukraine. The strike count signals a fierce escalation in the drone war, where skies are now packed with surveillance and attack systems. Moscow says its units are intercepting and eliminating large hexacopters used for night strikes and precision attacks. As both sides escalate, the conflict is increasingly defined by machines battling machines in a fast-moving, high-tech war across the front lines.
