        Some flew through Belarus, but also why wouldn’t they? Ukrainians obviously concentrated on those going for the cities. What a weird question.

          why wouldn’t they?

          Because Ukraine seemed to shoot down most of the drones. I had assumed that they use Helicopters to follow them and shoot them down.

            Ukraine does a lot of different things to shoot down drones. Drones do a lot of things to avoid all of those things. We call this an arms race.

            While helicopters have been tried to shoot down drones they are not used very often because they don’t work well compared to other options.
