LUGANSK, October 3. /TASS/. The Russian Armed Forces have surpassed the Ukrainian military in both the number of long-range UAVs launched and the effectiveness of their strikes, while Russia is also increasing production of such systems, military expert Andrey Marochko said during a live broadcast on his VKontakte social media page.

"We have already surpassed the Ukrainian military in terms of both the quantity and quality of unmanned aerial vehicles. It was not without reason that I noted at the very beginning that, for the first time, the number of drones launched by Ukrainian forces has declined. Consequently, alongside increasing our own production, we are actively targeting drone assembly and storage facilities, as well as sites where UAV components are stored. All of this is producing tangible results," he said.
