Russia's May 24 Saturation Attack: 90 Missiles and 600 Drones

Russia launched 90 missiles—including 36 ballistic types—and roughly 600 UAVs on May 24, 2026, integrating different platforms to compress intercept timelines and force Ukrainian air defenses to triage targets. The scale reflects deliberate strategy: overwhelming radars and interceptor stocks through simultaneous multi-axis engagement. Such combined-arms packages exemplify how both sides have shifted from attrition toward saturation tactics, testing defensive capacity rather than seeking single high-value kills.
