Russian forces have used Iranian-made suicide drones to strike cities across Ukraine.

According to an intelligence update from Britain's defense ministry, the 440-pound Shahed-136 drones are slow and carry a small explosive payload. It's not immediately clear how many drones Russian forces have in their arsenal.

The retreat of Russian forces from key positions has been a relatively common theme since early September, when Ukrainian forces launched counteroffensives along the war's eastern and southern fronts.

"Even more so than before, the Russian economy looks set to descend into a gradually deepening recession," Schmieding said in a note last week.
