Around 85% of battlefield kills are done with domestically produced drones, according to recent stats I saw. So I think the world bought Ukraine mostly enough time to get their war machine rolling.
That being said, this hurts their air defense far more than the front lines, if I understand it right.
It’s not so much about what is happening on the battlefield, but about air defence. Ukrainian infrastructure is permanently targeted with missiles and drones. The Patriot missiles are very much needed for defence against missiles.
Does the 85% of kills mean drones are the entire kill chain or just a part of it? For example would a Russian tank destroyed by artillery, but spotted by a drone be done by a drone?

From what I understand it’s not including artillery kills. Most tanks are destroyed using kamikaze FPV drones, I believe.
Just the last step of the kill chain. So you’re not counting all the enables in the previous study m steps of the chain
