What is going on with the UAV interception rate?
All of last year there was a gradual on increases from 2563 in January to 12,163 in December.
Then this happened:
January 21,682 February 31,225 March 59,537
April is on track to match the March numbers.
Ukraine dramatically increased their production capabilities for drones of all kinds. Every other month a New Production line goes online, in ukraine or in the EU.
They now have enough to intercept 2000+ drones daily, AND still export drones and operators to the middle east.
You can also bet that they have enough stockpiled for themselves and probably are secretly equipping baltic states to counter a russian aggression against them.
russia faces increasingly scarce ressources while ukraine's capabilities will continue to grow during the year.
Firstly, russia significantly increased their drone production.
Secondly, ukraine improved their drone interception techniques.
Musk cut Starlink This matters as electronic warfare can ground a drone very cheaply and quickly.
I doubt this is it. It happened on February. Numbers were already spiking before it..
