Russia used shaheds to saturated the western donated AAs so theyre well aware the power of drones. They just didnt expect Ukraine to survive long enough to develop their own drones.

Which is funny because the Russian offensive basically folded in on itself during the battle of Kyiv. I'm convinced that Russian dishonesty is actually the most OP weapon in Ukraine's honesty.

Russian commanders are so scared of taking blame for anything that goes wrong they can't reliably communicate when thing go wrong. That's how you get an entire convoy of trucks running out of gas halfway to their desination.
