Overview
- Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russia currently produces about 404 Shahed-type loitering munitions per day and intends to raise output.
- He said Moscow aims to reach capacity to deploy up to 1,000 attack drones daily, urging a Ukrainian focus on disrupting those plans and inflicting losses.
- According to Syrskyi, Russia is expanding its force structure with plans to form at least 11 divisions in 2026 and to draft 409,000 troops, drawing on large reserves.
- Ukrinform reported a recent week in which Russian forces used over 1,300 attack drones, around 1,050 guided aerial bombs, and 29 missiles across Ukraine.
- Syrskyi said drone numbers are roughly comparable but quality differs, with Ukraine ahead in conventional systems and Russia holding an edge in fiber‑optic platforms.
