Russia's intensified drone strategy includes deploying decoy drones to mislead Ukrainian defenses, with reports indicating that around half of the drones used in recent attacks are decoys.
The ISW reported that after a recent mass attack, Ukraine recognized that about half of the drones encountered were lost, signaling that Russian forces utilized large number of decoy drones effectively.
Experts from the ISW suggest that Russia will continue to utilize a mix of decoy and attack drones to increase the likelihood of damaging long-range strikes, especially as winter deepens.
The recent surge in Russian aerial assaults aims to degrade Ukraine's energy infrastructure as winter approaches, using an array of tactics to bypass Ukrainian air defenses.
