đ„ No fuel, no weapons: How Ukraineâs new drone strategy is mauling Russian supply lines.
A new generation of Ukrainian mid-range drones is severely disrupting the Russian militaryâs supply lines to the southern front lines, striking bridges, trains and fuel trucks â and giving Kyiv a chance to derail Moscowâs plans for a summer offensive.
Video and images of about 150 strikes against Russian fuel tankers, trucks and other vehicles have been geolocated and analyzed by French open-source analyst ClĂ©ment Molin and the volunteer-run OSINT group Geoconfirmed, as well as CNNâs OSINT team.
Most have occurred since the beginning of May, in addition to a surge in strikes on other targets such as port facilities and ships.
With a range of 50 to 300 kilometers, the drones, all made in Ukraine, are designed to throttle the Russian armyâs logistics â adding a new dimension of strikes to Ukraineâs strategy as the war grinds through its fifth year.
Among the newly designed drones are the FP-2 and the Behemoth, which has a cruising speed of 180 kmh (110 mph) and can carry a 70 kilogram warhead.
