Every recorded strike was documented on video through Ukraine’s DELTA battlefield management system and subsequently verified by the Brave1 defense innovation cluster.
Since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian forces have confirmed strikes against more than 320,000 Russian military personnel, with October accounting for nearly one-eighth of the annual total.
The Ministry of Defense reported that the number of verified strikes carried out using unmanned systems increased by 26% compared with September, representing an additional 8,637 strikes.
October’s figure also surpassed the previous monthly record of 35,000 recorded in March 2026 and was 1.6 times higher than the corresponding figure in October 2025.
The largest increases in verified strikes were recorded along the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk sectors of the front line.
Beyond combat operations, October also saw a record number of evacuation missions conducted using unmanned ground vehicles.
According to the ministry, 598 evacuations were verified during the month, an increase of 105 compared with September.
Ukrainian forces also recorded strikes against three Russian aircraft in October, including Mi-8 and Mi-28 helicopters and an An-124-100 aircraft.
The latest figures come amid broader assessments of substantial Russian military losses in Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that Russian military casualties may have exceeded 50,000 personnel killed or seriously wounded in October, approaching the total number of American fatalities during the Vietnam War.
Speaking at the Atlantic Future Forum aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales on November 11, Rutte stated that Russian forces had been sustaining monthly losses of more than 40,000 troops for several consecutive months.
