While Ukraine has continued to adapt ingenious ways for countering swarms of loitering one-way attack drones over the course of the war, the Shahed retains a cruel attritional logic. It is the most cost-effective munition in Russia’s firepower strike arsenal. Even though Shahed’s only hit their target less than 10 percent of the time, their low cost means Russia can fire mass salvos almost daily, wearing down Ukrainian air defenses and terrorizing the population.
