Ukrainian soldiers launching a drone
Ukrainian soldiers launch a drone at Russian positions near Bakhmut, Donetsk region, Ukraine, Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022.
  • Ukraine lacks the drone capacity to conduct significant strikes in Russia, a war analyst says.
  • Recent months have seen a spate of drone attacks in occupied Crimea and Moscow.
  • Ukraine can only use its own drones because of restrictions on using NATO weapons on Russian territory.

Ukraine does not have the drone capacity to strike enough targets in Russia to tip the war in their favor, war analysts told The Washington Post.
