Russia Says It Downed 1,110 Ukrainian Drones Overnight

The scale claimed here matters less as a battlefield tally than as a signal about production and saturation: a single overnight wave of this size, spread across 20 regions and the Black Sea, implies sustained Ukrainian capacity to force Russian air defenses to fire broadly rather than selectively. The immediate cost falls on interception economics and on civilian infrastructure in the affected regions. Whether the reported figure reflects an actual escalation in drone output or a shift in how Russia counts and publicizes interceptions is the open question worth watching.
