Russia Gears Up for Massive Drone Blitz, Air Defenses May Crumble

International News:  Big news has come out regarding the attack on Ukraine. Preparations are being made for the biggest attack on Ukraine so far. According to Christian Freuding, major general of the Bundeswehr and head of Ukraine's coordination headquarters, there could be a possible attack on Ukraine from 2 thousand drones simultaneously. He said that Russia's production capacity is increasing in terms of number, density, and geographical location, and attacks are also increasing.

When such a large number of Russian drones target Ukrainian cities simultaneously, it will be very difficult for Ukraine's air defense to stop them. Germany's Major General Christian Freuding has said in an interview that Russia is preparing for the biggest attack on Ukraine. According to him, 2 thousand drone attacks are going to take place on different cities of Russia.

What is Russia's preparation?

According to reports, Russia is rapidly manufacturing 20 lakh FPV drones. Russia is engaged in making such drones, which can mark from a long distance. Kamikaze drones are being manufactured on a large scale in Russia, and now attacks are also possible with 1 thousand Shahed drones per day. In June 2025, Ukraine has been attacked with 5,337 Shahed drones. At the same time, it is not easy to stop drones like Garan-2 with Patriot Air Defense. This drone destroys air defense systems like Patriot.

Ukraine is targeting drone factories

Amid the growing threat of Russian attacks, Freuding told the Bundeswehr podcast Nachgefragt that Ukraine could respond to anticipated drone attacks indirectly by targeting production sites with long-range missiles. Ukraine regularly attacks military production facilities on Russian territory but has called on Western allies to provide longer-range weapons for additional capabilities.

Getting help from America and Germany

Freuding announced earlier this month that Ukraine would begin receiving hundreds of domestically produced long-range weapon systems by the end of July under a deal funded by Germany, while US President Donald Trump has agreed to a deal with NATO to supply additional weapons to Ukraine.
