“On the contrary, we see an increase in intensity of military actions, an increase in the number of offensive enemy groupings, an increase in production of strike weapons, missiles and drones,” Oleksandr Syrskyi told Ib.ua in an interview published on Sunday.

“At the moment, the enemy produces daily 404 ‘Shaheds’ [Iranian-designed drones] of different kinds. And the plans are to increase that. The enemy plans to boost production significantly, up to 1,000 drones a day.”
