Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian drones can fly over Ukraine for up to 24 hours.

In addition to Shahed drones, each costing around $200,000, the occupiers are employing cheaper alternatives—“decoys”—to locate the positions of Ukrainian air defense systems.
ВСУ сообщили, что российские дроны способны находиться в воздухе над Украиной в течение суток.
Some Russian strike drones of the Shahed type can fly over Ukrainian territory for nearly a day. To achieve this, the Russians are making modifications to their design. This was reported on Friday, November 29, by the spokesman for the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, in an interview with the Center for Counteracting Disinformation.   "I personally saw how it flew for more than 24 hours. The drone was circling over various reserves. It was hunted for a long time, and eventually, it was shot down along with the others. But this can go on for quite a while, around 24 hours," Yevlash said.   According to him, to enable the drone to fly for such an extended period, its fuel tank needs to be increased or its warhead reduced.   He noted that mobile fire groups are actively working against enemy drones, and their numbers are periodically increasing.   "We are doing what we can, even pushing our limits—our pilots often enter the enemy air defense strike zone to engage targets," Yevlash added.   Yevlash emphasized that the enemy is currently using drones extensively and urged people who find them not to approach the drone and to report their discovery to the relevant authorities. Additionally, he reminded that during an attack, it is important to stay in shelters.   Recall that in Nikopol, due to a strike from a Russian kamikaze drone, a woman and a man were injured.   On Thursday morning, debris from downed Russian missiles fell in the Dnipro and Darnytsia districts of Kyiv.
