In 2025, Russia has launched more than 44,000 one-way drone attacks against Ukraine. While peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia continue, the Ukrainian military conducted a large-scale attack against a major Russian suicide drone base. Attacking Russian Suicide Drone Bases On November 5, the Ukrainian military fired missiles and suicide drones against a Russian drone base close to the Donetsk airport. The Russian forces used the base to store, assemble, and launch suicide unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
“One building, reportedly used for warhead storage, was destroyed in Ukraine’s strike, two further buildings sustained damage, and a fourth sustained minimal damage to its roof. UAS pre-launch infrastructure, a fuel depot and an ammunition warehouse are reported to have been damaged in the strike,” the British Ministry of Defence assessed in its most recent operational update on the war in Ukraine. According to open source reporting, the Russian drone base housed over 1,000 Geran-2 suicide drones. The unmanned aerial system is a replica of the highly successful Iranian Shahed-136 suicide drone.
