Russia shifts from mass Shahed attacks to single, manually controlled drone strikes
Russia is moving from mass Shahed drone attacks to single, complex, manually controlled strikes, according to Ukrainian military analyst Serhii 'Flash' Beskrestnov.

Ukrainian military analyst Serhii ‘Flash’ Beskrestnov has reported a shift in Russian tactics regarding Shahed drones. Instead of launching large swarms, Russian forces are now using single drones flown manually at low altitude for complex strikes. This change makes the drones harder to detect and intercept, posing a greater challenge to Ukrainian air defenses. The adaptation indicates that Russia is refining its drone warfare in response to Ukraine’s defensive measures. Beskrestnov’s remarks highlight the evolving nature of the conflict, where both sides continuously adjust their strategies.
