Ukraine complains about the depletion of its stock of drones

Ukraine (Agencies) - Since the beginning of the war, it was clear that the Russian forces had a massive military superiority over their Ukrainian counterparts in various traditional warfare standards, but the drones provided Kiev with an opportunity to adjust this major imbalance in the balance of power.

However, the Russian army soon remedied this loophole, focusing on striking the Ukrainian drones, which were a headache for it.

In the latest press briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense said, on Saturday, that the number of Ukrainian drones destroyed by its forces has reached 1,600 since the outbreak of the war, according to the Russian “TASS” agency.

However, as with the rest of the information provided by the two parties to the conflict, it has not been confirmed by an independent party or recognized by the other party.

However, the American "National Interest" website, which specializes in defense and strategic affairs, says that the Ukrainian forces are already suffering from depletion of the stock of drones.

Last June, Kiev said it had received about 50 drones for the first time since the beginning of the war.

The site considered this development a sign of the decline of Ukraine's fleet of drones.
