What was once a comfort zone for Russian military logistics, located over a thousand kilometers from the Ukrainian border, is now a target for regular drone attacks. Oil facilities, airfields, and ammunition depots in deep Russian territory have been hit, demonstrating that distance is no longer an effective defense.
Long-range drones: the new strategic equation 🚁
Ukraine has developed drones with an autonomy to fly between 1000 and 2000 kilometers, bypassing Russian air defenses through low-altitude routes and modified GPS signals. These devices do not require complex runways or large logistics centers; they are launched from mobile platforms and use commercial components. The result is an attack capability that forces Russia to redistribute its anti-aircraft systems, stretching its resources to the limit.
The backyard is no longer what it used to be 🔥
Russian generals must be racking their brains to guess where the next drone will fall. Previously, inland cities lived unaware of the conflict; now their residents look to the sky with the same distrust as those in Kharkiv. Modern warfare has this charm: you feel safe 2000 km away, until you hear the hum of an electric motor over your country house.
