russia continues to terrorize the civilian population of Ukraine

The purpose of russian drone attacks is to terrorize the civilian population of Ukraine.

According to the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, russians resort to targeted drone strikes on energy and civilian infrastructure, as the rate of missile production does not allow for an intensive war with their constant use.

"Shahed drones are a cheaper tool, though the effectiveness of these UAVs is better suited for terrorizing civilians than for their intended purposes. The percentage of their effectiveness barely exceeds 10%," Kovalenko emphasized.

Earlier Defense Express reported details about thermobaric warhead of russian Shahed drones, launched against Ukraine.
