Moscow hit by 650 Ukrainian drones in one of war’s largest strikes on the capital

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 650 Ukrainian drones flew toward the Moscow region between 20:30 local time on the 5th and 05:00 on the 6th, with Russian air defense units shooting down most of them at long range. TASS described the attack as one of the largest drone strikes on the Moscow region in nearly two years.

The scale here is the signal: a single overnight window with hundreds of drones aimed at the capital suggests sustained, industrialised production and launch capacity rather than a one-off. The emphasis on intercepts at long range points to a defensive model that trades depth for cost, and the reference to nearly two years frames this as a threshold being crossed rather than a routine exchange. Whether this tempo becomes the new baseline, and how air defence economics hold up against it, is the open question.
