The Military Watch Magazine: Россия способна выпускать до 500 ударных дронов «Герань-2» в день

Cheap Russian drones pose a threat to expensive American MIM-104 Patriot SAM systems

The Russian Armed Forces can use more than 400 drones, as well as ballistic and cruise missiles, in just one night. Such an attack is capable of paralyzing the enemy's air defense system, writes The Military Watch Magazine.

According to journalists at The Military Watch Magazine, "the Russian industry was on track to produce up to 500 'Geran-2s' daily." In addition, the production of Kh-101 and 9K720 missiles has increased many times over compared to 2022 levels.

Since MIM-104 Patriot SAM systems are the most valuable military assets (estimated to cost approximately $2.5 billion), the loss of these systems is a serious blow to air defense.
