russia has started receiving regular supplies of Shahed drones – British intelligence
russia launches UAVs from two directions: from Krasnodar Krai and Bryansk Oblast
Since the beginning of March this year, russia has launched at least 71 Iranian-designed Shahed drones at targets across Ukraine.
Source. British intelligence in a Sunday report.
"These attacks followed a two-week pause in OWA-UAV attacks in late February 2023. russia has likely started receiving regular resupplies of small numbers of Shahed UAVs," the report says.
The intelligence service notes that russia is apparently launching Shaheds from two directions: from Krasnodar Krai in the east and Bryansk Oblast in the northeast.
This allows russia flexibility to target a broad sector of Ukraine and decreases flying time to targets in the north of Ukraine. It could also be a further attempt by russia to stretch Ukrainian air defences.
Previously. As a reminder, on the night of 24 March, the enemy launched a massive attack on Kryvyi Rih with Shahid-type kamikaze drones. Thanks to the air defence system, 1 enemy UAV was shot down. However, 5 drones hit the city.
