Ukraine hit Moscow on Wednesday in what Russia described as one of its largest drone attacks in the war, though Russia claimed all of the explosive unmanned vehicles were shot down.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said that overnight into Wednesday, its forces destroyed a total of 45 drones launched into Russia.
Eleven of those drones were taken out by air defenses over the region of Moscow, and three of them around the neighboring province of Kaluga Oblast, according to Russia.
The rest were downed by air defenses in regions that border Ukraine, including Kursk, where Ukraine is pushing forward in a major offensive that began Aug. 6.
Ukrainian forces are believed to have used Australian-supplied Bushmasters as part of their recent surprise incursion into Russia, with evidence emerging of at least one of the armoured vehicles apparently destroyed inside the western border region of Kursk.
Russia has lost its edge in drones and electronic warfare during the war, while Ukraine has emerged as a global leader, fielding advanced defense systems for its forces.
