Ukraine's air force said that at least 73 Russian attack drones entered the country's airspace on Saturday into Sunday morning, after a week in which both sides made battlefield history with new advanced weapons systems.
Ukraine's air force said it downed 50 of the 73 Russian drones that crossed into the country. Another 19 drones were lost in flight, while four more were still flying in Ukrainian airspace as of just after 7 a.m. local time.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing 36 Ukrainian drones overnight Saturday and early Sunday.
The ministry said its own strikes were part of a wider campaign of attacks on "military airfields, production facilities and storage sites for drones, as well as concentrations of enemy manpower and military equipment."
Drone exchanges have been a constant element of Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbor, with the size and regularity increasing as the war wears on. Russia also often combines its UAV barrages with missile strikes.

Yehor Cherniev -- a member of the Ukrainian parliament and the chairman of his country's delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly -- told ABC News that Kyiv would not be cowed by Russian threats.
"Ukraine has every right to use the entire arsenal of available conventional weapons to the full depth of the aggressor's territory," he said, shortly after the ATACMS strike in Bryansk.
"We will continue to strike military targets on the territory of the Russian Federation until the threat to Ukraine is eliminated," Cherniev said.

Dangerous Escalation: Russia Responds to NATO Strikes with New "Oreshnik" Ballistic Missile
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for November 24, 2024…
Russia has retaliated against the use of Western-manufactured missiles inside Russian territory by firing an intermediate-range ballistic missile with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles at military industrial targets in eastern Ukraine;
The missile had previously been prohibited under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with such missiles constituting the primary means of nuclear exchange between the Soviet Union and NATO in Europe during the Cold War;
The stark warning comes at a time when Ukrainian forces are rapidly deteriorating and the prospect of a widespread collapse increases;
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has acknowledged that weapon deliveries aren’t Ukraine’s primary problem, but a lack of trained manpower, unrealistically urging Ukraine to mobilize more men;
The US is attempting to continue exhausting Russia, raising the costs of the conflict as much as possible, including through the possibility of wider direct intervention before Ukrainian forces completely collapse;
The prospect of Russia and NATO exchanging conventional long-range strikes continues to rise, thus also raising the risk of a nuclear exchange;
You again sadsack?
What a life
