Claim 2: “From 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Moscow time (5:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. GMT), 184 unmanned aerial vehicles were flying toward the Moscow Region.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While one web search result contains a snippet that looks like the claim ('On August 4, between 08:30 and 22:00, 184 UAVs were flying...'), the snippet is fragmented and followed by unrelated text about the moon and ballistic missiles in Kyiv. Other sources report 237 UAVs on August 10-11. There is no corroborating evidence from a reliable news source to verify this specific timeframe and count for August 4.
