Military experts documented detailed statistics on drone attacks by Russian forces during the third week of July 2025, revealing consistently high levels of air operations.
The number of FPV drones used reached approximately 6,000 units, which represents a slight decrease compared to the previous period. Nevertheless, the total number of unmanned vehicles for the first three weeks of the month is impressive – 18,500 FPV drones.
Parallel to the main drone component, Russian forces also applied additional unmanned platforms. The Lancet combat drones registered around 40 attacks per week, with a total of 110 for the month. Molniya-2 kamikaze drones reached 130 per week and over 310 in total.
Particular attention was drawn to the use of Shahed-136, also known as "Gerbera" or "Parody". They recorded 1,369 attacks per week, which is significantly less than the previous 2,264. Their total number for three-quarters of the month amounts to 5,024.
The precision of drone attacks is measured at around 215 direct hits, representing a 15-percent success rate. Experts predict that July will be a record month in terms of intensity of FPV drones and Shahed platforms.
The key conclusion remains unchanged – the drone war continues with increasing dynamics and increasingly sophisticated technological solutions that are changing modern military strategy.
