After the Russian military launched a continuous large-scale air strike on Ukraine, the Ukrainian military also used suicide drones to conduct air strikes on Russia, although the number of drones used by the Ukrainian military was much less than that of the Russian military. The Russians demonstrated that they deployed Ka-52 attack helicopters to intercept the flight paths of Ukrainian drones and shot down several long-range suicide drones using the onboard 2A42 cannon.

The long-range drones of the Ukrainian military mainly targeted Russian oil refineries and petroleum facilities, but the actual impact was not significant. Although the explosions looked impressive, they only destroyed some oil storage tanks. Moreover, the Ukrainian drones generally have a 59 kg warhead, which is unable to cause fatal damage to large industrial facilities in Russia.
