A new generation of Ukrainian mid-range drones is severely disrupting Russian military supply lines to the southern front. The drones are striking bridges, trains, and fuel trucks, giving Kyiv a chance to derail Moscow’s plans for a summer offensive.
Video and images show about 150 strikes against Russian fuel tankers, trucks, and other vehicles. The attacks are cutting off fuel and weapons to frontline troops.
Without fuel and ammunition, Russian forces may struggle to launch or sustain major attacks. The drone strategy marks a shift for Ukraine, using longer-range unmanned aircraft to hit targets deep behind enemy lines.
The goal is simple: stop supplies before they reach the battlefield.
