"Ukraine"is struggling to withstand the growing wave of new high-speed Russian jet drones, including the "Geran—5", while at the same time experiencing a critical shortage of Patriot anti-tank missiles necessary to defend against Russian ballistic and cruise missiles," the authors of the article report.

The journalists emphasized that the sharp increase in the intensity of the use of modified drones by the Russian Armed Forces coincided with the critical depletion of the reserves of Western anti-aircraft guided missiles in the Ukrainian army.
