Update: tonight's attack by Russia set a new record, 800 drones, along with some missiles (I got woken up again by cruise missiles getting intercepted in the morning – hard to explain how awesome that sound is).

In Kyiv, two deaths: a woman and her young child murdered by a Russian attack on an apartment building. They also hit some government buildings in Kyiv for the first time, and even killed a bunch of horses with multiple shahed drones on a horse stables just outside of Kyiv. Never underestimate Russian pettiness and evil.

But, due to the amazing work of the Ukrainian military, it's still safer to be here than in Charlotte, North Carolina... Something like 90% of Russian drones get shot down.

recently shot down rate is not that good. this can be seen from the amount of damage. gov building attack is purely demonstrative. Whether it's new drones or some other tactic. hope our air defense guys will figure it out soon

Previous shoot down rates were even higher, something like 95%

There's been a few changes, one of which was reconfiguring drones to fly at much higher altitudes. This makes them easy to track on radar, which is why they didn't do that before. But with much higher numbers of drones it tips the balance as it makes shooting them down with machine guns much harder.

Thats why so much investment has been made into interceptor drones. Both one time use FPV drones, and more recently, multiple use drones that use shotgun shells to take out the engines.

maybe ~90% when its Kyiv attacked, other regions less

~70 drones slipped that day, that is a lot

Peter Todd 3mo ago

Well, you agree that my %'s are correct. :)

70 drones can do a lot of damage. But Ukraine is a very big place. There's a lot of stuff Russia needs to destroy to win.

It's not a good situation to be in. But it's not hopeless either.
