According to Russian sources, about 80 standard and 5 jet drones were reported, but these estimates, along with the routes, are highly approximate.

To expand the mountaineering analogy: Pu can't get to the top and claim victory (can't conquer Ukraine), can't keep trying forever (maintain the war), but he can't climb down fast either (end the war) because the mountaineering federation (regime) and the public will see him as a failure and end him
“Russia’s economy hasn’t collapsed. It has entered the “death zone”—surviving by consuming its own future. Growth at 1%. Budget deficit rising. Military sector expands while civilian industry shrinks. Interest payments > education + healthcare. No climber survives this altitude forever.”
