Ukrainian military has shot down 220,000 fixed-wing drones and 100,000 multirotor UAVs since the start of 2026.
Ukrainian forces have neutralized more than 350,000 Russian drones since the start of 2026, according to Kyiv’s defense ministry.
Fixed-wing drones accounted for around 220,000 of the losses, with multirotor drones making up another 100,000.
Ukrainian unmanned systems units, mobile fire groups, and army aviation also shot down 31,000 Shahed-type drones.
The ministry said each hit is recorded on video in Ukraine’s DELTA combat system and verified by the Brave1 defense innovation cluster.
DELTA allows operators to review the details of each engagement and identify tactics and systems that can be used more widely.
The Stakes of Every Intercept
The defense ministry stressed that every drone destroyed could save the lives of Ukrainian troops and civilians.
Russian fixed-wing drones are used to scout Ukrainian rear areas, carry out strikes, and help direct attacks on infrastructure.
Multirotor drones hunt troops and equipment along the front line.
