Drone Commander Claims 102,000 Russian Casualties in One Year

A Ukrainian drone commander has claimed that his unit has killed or wounded 102,000 Russian soldiers over the past twelve months. The commander, speaking to Euromaidan Press, said the figures were based on the cumulative impact of drone strikes launched from Ukrainian territory.

The commander noted that the first drone missions involved a grenade taped to a drone that was used to film weddings, marking the beginning of a campaign that has escalated into a sustained aerial offensive. He emphasized that the drone operations have been a key component of Ukraine’s defensive strategy.

The claim underscores the intensity of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with Ukrainian forces increasingly relying on unmanned aerial vehicles to counter Russian advances.
