Episode Details

Russia claims it intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones overnight, but the numbers don't seem to add up. Either Ukraine launched one of the largest drone attacks of the entire war, or Russia is inflating its claims. We examine the evidence, the confirmed strikes on Russian military and industrial targets, what happened in Crimea, why Moscow is shifting more air defenses home, and what Ukraine's accelerating AI-driven military transformation means for the future of the war.
