“Russia launched the largest drone attack it has ever directed at the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, before dawn on Saturday, sending wave after wave of drones packed with explosives toward a city that is home to more than three million people.
The Ukrainian Air Force said that the attack featured “a record number” of one-way attack drones. At least five people were injured in Saturday’s attack, city officials said, and dozens of homes damaged or destroyed.”

“The Ukrainian Air Force said it had shot down or disabled 71 out of an estimated 75 drones, most of which were targeting the capital. The war’s previously largest drone assault directed at the capital, which took place in May, involved about half as many drones.
A single missile was shot down over the Dnipro region, the air force said.”
“”30 people on the ground, no one cares to evacuate them”: Russian serviceman showing his positions somewhere near Bakhmut. Minefields and corpses of his fellow comrades that nobody is picking up. What is the point of all this?”

Mykola Oleschuk of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, commenting on the largest attack by Shahed kamikaze drones, said that almost 40% of UAVs that night were shot down by mobile fire groups - in fact, pickup trucks with machine guns and searchlights.

That is what we have to look forward to this Winter. Drone war.
Reportedly, both sides have increased production of drones, and stockpiled some inventory for a Winter campaign.
