However, she recognizes that the complete shock may hit her later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A growing danger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pryimenko and millions of other Ukrainians, the threat is growing as Russia refines its tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military observers say the drones &#8211; mostly Iran-designed Shaheds &#8211; now strike cities like Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa in groups of 20 or 30 drones almost nightly, exploiting a method that makes them harder to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drones approach a city at an altitude of several kilometers, after which they sharply descend and begin circling next to the roofs of the houses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes them \u201calmost invulnerable\u201d to air defenses because any attempt to shoot them down carries a huge risk for the residents in their homes, a military blogger, \u201cDroneBomber,\u201d writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once all the drones, which follow elaborate routes from their launch sites in Russia and Crimea, arrive, they rise once again, fly to their target, and fall vertically at a great speed, giving the air defenses, most of which have a very limited range, mere seconds to react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In search of solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1789642\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-430x286.webp 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military observer Oleksandr Kovalenko compares such attacks with \u201ccarpet bombing\u201d due to their indiscriminate impact. Writing for the Information Resistance Group, he warns that Russia will increase its terror of Ukrainian civilians in an attempt to sow panic, while unable to break through the defense on the frontline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, Russia launched a record 4196 drones, including 1344 in the final week alone, according to Ukraine\u2019s Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To counteract the threat, Ukraine needs more of small- and medium-range air defense systems such as Gepard (Germany) and Crotale (France) or modernized Soviet-era \u201cStrela\u201d and \u201cOSA\u201d, the expert argues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, their stock is depleting and the production of new systems is slower and costlier than that of the Russian drones, which means that Ukraine has to find its solutions too and do so quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine is looking into using drones to intercept Shaheds and producing its air-defense systems, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acting fast is important, according to Kovalenko, since Russia may soon double the number of drones it launches every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No peace in sight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such attacks signal Russia has no plans to stop, locals believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s blackmail. They terrorize civilians and try to intimidate and demoralize us to destabilize the country,&#8221; Daria Bakun from Dnipro is certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She doubts it will work, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSuch nights of terror only imbue most in Dnipro with even more hatred and distrust towards Russia rather than make them inclined to accept its ultimatums\u201d, Bakun underlines.
