Russia and Ukraine exchanged large drone attacks on Sunday night into Monday, with alleged Ukrainian UAVs forcing flight restrictions at three Russian airports.

Summary

Ukraine and Russia exchanged significant drone attacks Sunday night into Monday.

Ukraine reportedly targeted Kazan, a key Russian military-industrial hub 600 miles from Ukrainian-controlled territory, striking facilities tied to aviation and munitions production.

Russia claimed to have intercepted 30 Ukrainian drones across several regions, while Ukraine reported downing 93 of 141 Russian drones launched at its territory.

Temporary flight restrictions were imposed at multiple Russian airports, including Kazan International.

Ukrainian officials suggested the strikes highlight vulnerabilities in Russia’s air defenses.

    When I take off, well, I know I’m gonna be

    I’m gonna be the drone who takes off towards you

    When I blow up, yeah, I know I’m gonna be

    I’m gonna be the drone who blows along with you

    If I get jammed, well, I know I’m gonna be

    I’m gonna be the drone who gets jammed next to you

    And if I reach ya, yeah, I know I’m gonna be

    I’m gonna be the drone who’s reaching down to you

    [Chorus]

    But I would fly six hundred miles

    And I would fly four hundred more

    Just to be the drone who flew a thousand

    Miles to fall down on your door

    I wonder if we will see these long range systems equipped with several types of child drones… at least one anti radiation against AA and several others for independent targeting.
