Ukraine has escalated its aerial campaign against Russian logistical networks, deploying medium-range drones to strike supply convoys and disrupt rear-area operations deep behind the front lines.
The shift in tactics aims to sever critical supply routes, particularly those feeding forces in the Crimean corridor, effectively neutralizing some of the logistical advantages previously held by Russian troops.
This development marks a significant evolution in the conflict's dynamic, moving beyond direct frontline engagements to target the sustainment infrastructure that supports Russian offensive capabilities.
By turning rear areas into active combat zones, Kyiv is forcing Moscow to divert resources to defense and repair, potentially slowing the pace of operations in key sectors.
The intensified drone strikes come amid broader reports of severe pressure on Russian forces.
Recent assessments cited by Handelsavisen indicate that Russian soldiers in specific frontline sectors are facing extreme casualty rates, with some units surviving only minutes after deployment.
