"Last month, the Ukrainian army destroyed almost twice as many air defense systems and radars as in October last year," the article says.
The authors also note that the number of successful drone and missile attacks deep behind enemy lines has increased.
In March, Ukraine launched more UAVs at Russia (7,000) than Russia launched at Ukraine.
Spiegel writes that FP-2, Hornet, and Bulava drones are playing a key role. In the final kilometers, they operate autonomously: they scan the terrain and identify the target on their own. Their range is up to 200 km behind the front line.
Between January and April, Ukrainian drones carried out a total of 600 strikes on occupied territories. The main targets were Tor, Buk, and S-300 systems.
