[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Russia has been using drones to attack cities in Ukraine recently. With the improvement of countermeasures, the success rate of Ukraine shooting down Iranian suicide drones is getting higher and higher.

President Zelensky also called on countries to provide air defense systems to make Ukraine more effective at preventing drone attacks.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Intelligence, said on the 24th that the Russian army launched 330 Iranian suicide drones on the 22nd, and the Ukrainian army shot down more than two-thirds.

The British Ministry of Defense's briefing on the situation of the Ukraine-Russia battlefield on the 24th also mentioned that the Ukrainian air defense forces are increasingly able to deal with suicide drones, and the interception success rate has reached 85%.

And Russia may try to use a large number of drones to break through Ukraine's air defenses, thereby replacing the increasingly scarce long-range precision-guided weapons.

Zelensky made a speech at the Democracy Forum hosted by Israel's "Ha'aretz" on the 24th, calling for increased international assistance to Ukraine's air defense system, and alleging that Russia has ordered 2,000 suicide drones from Iran.

Zelensky said that Russia lost the confrontation on the battlefield to Ukraine, and the Ukrainian army defeated the Russian army on Ukrainian soil. "Putin's army has no idea how to fight."

Talking about drones and air defense, Zelensky said: "We don't have our own 'Iron Dome' air defense system, and we still don't have a modern air defense and missile defense system to protect the skies of Ukraine, which is why Russia wants to use Air terror attacks to make up for their losses on the ground."
