Ukraine's Ministry of Defence said on 30 October that aerial drones destroyed or disabled 1,039 Russian military boats between 1 January and 25 October 2026, with July's 236 the monthly peak. It said every hit was recorded on video in the DELTA battle-management system and verified by Brave1, the same results-verification pipeline that underpins the drone units' "e-points" scheme. Boat types and the split between destroyed and disabled were not given, and there is no independent confirmation.
