Shahanedov's "diminishing": that changes in the use of drones by the Russian Federation

The peak use per day was over 1,200 FPV. But there is a nuance… After this record age, the use rate has decreased to 450 to 600. However, the week retains a high figure in this category, and if it is preserved, a new, absolute record - more than 18 thousand can be set in March. On BB "Lancet" there was a sharp decline - 32 units.

And this is despite the fact that in the first week of February in the PLO the use of BB "Lancet" was more than 100 units, which was 2 times higher than the average monthly rate for January 2025, December, November, October 2024. It is too early to draw preliminary conclusions, but most likely a record use in February was caused by a cumulative effect, not systemic. So, we see. Similar to BB "Lancet" there is a sharp decrease in the number of Dronov-Kamikadze Dronov-Molnia-2.

For the first week of March, about 70 "molny" was used with different types of combat units, whereas in February this figure reached almost 100. I will remind that Dron-Kamikadze "Molnia-2" is the simplest and most cheap product, capable of overcoming 50 kilometers and caring KZ-6 and thermobars from RPO-A "bumble".

It is also noteworthy that the swarm significantly reduced the use of shock drones "Hi-82"-25! The last three days of the first March week have not been verified at all by the enemy of these means of damage. Given that the drones "Molnia-2" and "Hi-82"-handicraft production, cheap means of damage, most likely, a certain problem in the technical or technological component of their production, which led to such striking falls of indicators.

Well, and the indicator of drones-Kamikadze/drone-bait shahd-136/"Herbera"/"parody", which is the most disturbing. In the first week of March, 903 drones of this combined category were used. I will remind that in January 2025, the swarm used 2 507 drones in this combined category, and in February - 3 907.
