The Russia has had a tradition of telling about drones hitting targets as “shot down” and being quiet about drones shot down, because they don’t want to show how many drones really attacked.
I don’t really know why they have elected to tell the amount of targets succesfully hit as “shot down”, but maybe they think we won’t notice?
It was very bright. Something definitely exploded. So, it wasn’t completely destroyed in the air or actually made it and hit its designated target whateverit was.
I doubt these types of drones have complex detonators. They might be armed before take-off, meaning they’ll probably explode on impact when shot down. Destroying the warhead in the air is MUCH harder than just breaking the drone enough to crash it.
