Ukraine’s new Defence Minister Mihailo Fedorov has revealed a plan to inflict up to 50,000 Russian soldiers’ casualties each month, using drones and real‑time mission tracking. He told journalists that Ukraine’s forces killed roughly 35,000 Russians last month, verified by video evidence, and that the Ministry of Defence now has detailed, verified data on Russian losses. Fedorov announced a new project that will monitor drone types, flight routes and launch sites in real time, a system that has been under development for almost two years. Once complete, the system will extend to artillery. He also mentioned a forthcoming delivery of 40,000 interceptor drones, the reduction of reliance on Chinese models, and the creation of specialised units to target Russian drone operators. The Defence Ministry is preparing assault units that employ drones; a recent operation by Unit Code 9.2 in Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, demonstrated the new approach. President Volodymyr Zelensky has set the goal of making the cost of war for Russia unsustainable. The plan is framed as a response to Russian tactics that treat combat forces as expendable, signalling a shift toward asymmetric warfare that leverages technology and intelligence.
