Drone attacks on Ukraine reach record levels as Russia could be 'stockpiling' missiles for winter assault

"We're talking dozens and dozens [of drones] every night," Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) thinktank, said. "The sheer volume requires some kind of response, but not at the expense of using the most sophisticated and expensive interceptor missiles, which you would want to hold back for cruise missiles or to use against Russian aircraft. "What the Russians are trying to do with these constant air attacks is wear down even those smaller missiles."
