Russia’s drone war is undergoing a major shift as Moscow begins moving away from disposable UAVs and toward a new generation of reusable strike and interceptor drones. But in reality, Russia is playing catch-up. Ukraine was the first to pivot toward heavy, reusable attack drones earlier in the war—a shift that forced Moscow to adapt.

Ukrainian forces struck a major Russian aviation plant in the city of Taganrog overnight, destroying what defense analysts say was one of the most unusual and secretive aircraft in Russia’s inventory—the A-60 1A2, a Soviet-era airborne laser weapons platform intended to blind satellites and shoot down aircraft.
