Russia is escalating its attacks on Ukraine with a surge of drones and missiles, straining defenses and raising winter war concerns. Attacks are more frequent and deadly, with rising civilian casualties. Russia has improved drone production and tactics, including using decoys and varying altitudes.
More drones are getting through Ukrainian defenses. Russia is using Shaheds to clear paths for more dangerous missiles. Shahed production has been scaled up in Russia, with cheaper components.
Ukraine is seeking better air defenses, but Patriots are costly against Shaheds. Efforts to develop cheaper counter-drones are underway.
Western nations are hesitant to protect Ukrainian airspace. The air battle balance has shifted towards Russia, which could target infrastructure before winter. The increased attacks show Russia's commitment to its goals, and the war is not a stalemate.

Maybe Ukraine should invest in better strategies instead of relying on outside help and costly air defenses.

The West can’t be hesitant anymore. Supporting Ukraine is supporting freedom and stability in Europe.

Russia's tactics are getting more dangerous, and it's crucial that Ukraine receives the air defense support it needs.
