Zelensky Says Russia Launched Over 850 Attack Drones at Ukraine

The scale and duration matter more than any single strike: a 33-hour window implies Russia can now sustain drone output and launch tempo rather than firing in discrete waves, which shifts the burden onto Ukraine's air defense inventory and interception economics. For markets, the read-through is indirect but real — continued large-scale drone use keeps demand for counter-drone systems, electronic warfare and munitions in focus, and keeps the war as a persistent background risk for European energy and defense positioning. Whether this tempo becomes the new baseline, or reflects a specific push, is the open question.
