Ukraine shot down 33,000 Russian drones in one month: minister

Ukraine destroyed more than 33,000 Russian drones in March, setting a new monthly record since the full-scale invasion began over four years ago, according to Ukraine’s defence minister. The figure covers various types of drones, including small reconnaissance models and larger attack drones. Ukraine’s military uses interceptor drones as part of a broader air defence system. These systems are designed to track and shoot down incoming unmanned aircraft. The country has developed advanced, battle-tested drone technology that helps it counter Russia’s larger ground forces. This capability has attracted military attention from other nations.
