About

UAV Radar maps drone-related reports and air-raid alerts gathered from open sources across Ukraine and Russia. Regions and districts light up by report type and fade as the reports age.

Documented strikes layer. An optional map layer of reported damage from public Telegram channels we have vetted. Each point is an unverified third-party report, relayed with attribution and a link to the original. Points are dated by when the report was published, not when the damage happened, and the per-side counts follow our source list rather than the war. Military installations, air-defence positions and troop locations are excluded whichever side they are on.

This is a civilian situational-awareness tool aggregating publicly available information. It is not affiliated with any government, military or organization, and it is not an official alert service — in an emergency, follow the instructions of local emergency services.

Data

Alerts are aggregated from publicly accessible Telegram channels: @air_alert_ua, which relays Ukraine's official air-raid alerts, and @radarrussiia, an informal aggregator of Russian regional drone reports. There is no Russian equivalent of the first: official alerts there are issued by siren, SMS and a closed state messenger rather than published openly, so the two sides are not sourced alike because they are not published alike. Message content belongs to its original authors; this site republishes brief factual alerts for situational awareness.

Administrative boundaries are © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Thirty days of per-region statistics are published as open JSON at /api/stats.

Limitations

Two sources, relayed unverified. District granularity is only as good as what the channels report. If a channel changes format, parsing drift appears in logs before it appears on the map, but there is a lag.

Using the data

The per-region statistics behind this site are published as JSON at /api/stats — no key, no registration, CORS open. It covers the most recent 30 days: for each region, how many alert episodes there were, how many have ended, and how long they typically last.
