Ukraine shot down over 33,000 Russian drones in March, according to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Ukrainian forces have more than tripled their strike range since Russia's 2022 invasion, now targeting Russian oil refineries and military infrastructure 1,100 miles away. Ukraine's domestically developed long-range attack drones struck a Russian oil refinery at the Black Sea port of Tuapse for the third time this month. The country's advanced drone technology has drawn international attention, with Middle East and Gulf nations seeking Ukrainian interceptor systems. Ukraine is scaling up supplies of interceptor drones and has introduced a new command within the air force to boost its capabilities. Russia reported intercepting 186 Ukrainian drones over its regions, and drone attacks killed civilians on both sides.
