Why is Russia’s air defense struggling against drone swarms?
Russia's air defense system is facing fresh scrutiny after what is being described as the largest Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow since the war began. The June 18 assault exposed potential weaknesses in Russia's defenses, with reports of explosions, disrupted operations, and damage to key infrastructure. Military analysts say Ukraine's growing use of large-scale drone attacks is creating new challenges for traditional air-defense networks. The incident has reignited debate over Russia's ability to protect its capital from evolving aerial threats.
