Ukraine's DELTA situational awareness system logged more than 200,000 drone-confirmed strikes on Russian targets in June 2026, averaging over 6,600 per day, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on July 31.

The ministry stated that the monthly count has climbed steadily through the year. From January to June 2026, confirmed drone strikes recorded in the system nearly doubled, rising from 105,798 to 200,218.
Over the past year, DELTA gathered 820,000 reports on combat results against Russian targets, the ministry noted, including almost 240,000 concerning enemy personnel.
The system also logs strikes on tanks, drones, and other equipment. More than 8 million new objects are added to its digital map each month, giving units a current picture of the battlefield.
The confirmed strikes feed the "Army of Drones. Bonus" program, under which units earn points for verified hits carried out with unmanned systems. The ministry stated that the mechanism allows it to track each unit's effectiveness and reward the teams with the strongest results.
The tally covers hits on personnel, equipment, weapons, and shelters, along with downed Russian drones of both quadcopter and fixed-wing type.
More than 75,000 video streams run through DELTA every day, the ministry added. Its built-in Avengers platform uses artificial intelligence to detect enemy objects automatically in battlefield footage.
In early 2026, the ministry introduced a Mission Control module, a unified digital system for managing drones. This module replaced the need for paperwork. It now operates across all corps and troop groupings, with dashboards accessible from the unit level to the General Staff.
In March, the Ministry of Defense expanded the DELTA Mobile app to include a radar tool that warns individual service members of incoming air threats and plots hostile aircraft on a map, with a choice of voice or audio alerts.
