Summary
DroneBomber’s review of Russian monitoring channels logged about 1,500 Ukrainian drone detections and shoot-downs around Moscow, with only one drone in its sample entering the city.
About 93% of those drones—roughly 1,400—were intercepted in the first two defensive layers, while another 6%, or about 100, reached a third layer near the Moscow Ring Road.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin separately said 6,225 UAVs flew toward the Moscow region in July and 780 were destroyed while approaching the capital, underscoring the scale of the pressure on defenses.
Maps in the report show interception points ringing Moscow from all directions, but the researchers said the sample revealed no open corridor for a breakthrough.
Confirmed hits over the past two months included the Moscow oil refinery in Kapotnya, the Dubna Satellite Communications Centre and Wildberries logistics sites, though DroneBomber said available data does not show Moscow’s air defenses are being depleted.
