The drones of the long range are used for attacks on civilian and military purposes in the depths of the Ukrainian territory, and Russia uses about 500 such drones a month, Ukrainian military intelligence reported Reuters.
It is stated that European security officials were asked not to name their names and names of their organizations because of the confidentiality of information. They also asked not to disclose some specific details in the documents, such as dates and the cost of contracts.
