Today there are a lot of news from Crimea and the Russian Federation.

Here, Ukrainian forces continued their series of precision strikes against critical Russian military infrastructure, hitting targets within enemy territory. With drones and missiles, they aimed to cripple key assets, from ammunition depots to command posts, setting the stage for a major disruption of Russian military operations.

First of all, today Ukrainian drones targeted Feodosia in Crimea, striking a key Russian transshipment hub. This port infrastructure is not just an ordinary oil depot but can receive tankers with oil products year-round, store them, and distribute them across the Crimean Peninsula. Due to the attack, it sustained significant damage, and footage from the scene reveals extensive destruction, suggesting that oil logistics in the region will now rely more heavily on railways and roads, complicating transportation and, in turn, hindering the Russian use of mechanized forces in Ukraine.

Just several days prior to that, Ukrainian special forces launched several swarms of drones, with their first target being a fuel storage facility near Voronezh. Despite Russian officials claiming all drones were intercepted by electronic warfare systems, footage revealed fires raging at the complex after at least one vertical fuel reservoir was struck. A second fuel depot in the Perm region was also hit, with flames engulfing an area of 10,000 square meters. Videos shared by Russian locals on social media captured the impressive sight of Ukrainian jet-powered missile-drones flying at low altitudes and high speeds, rendering Russian defenses virtually powerless to stop them. The full uncensored footage of these Ukrainian strikes against Russian targets can be found on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.

The next Ukrainian attack was aimed at the Borisoglebsk airfield in the Voronezh region and targeted KAB bomb warehouses, Su-Thirty-Five aircraft, and their fuel storage. Explosions and fires were reported overnight by locals, with satellite data released showing several fire spots. With inflicted damage hard to assess at first, these images show that while the fire may have not directly affected the planes or buildings, it potentially spread to nearby boxes and containers stored close to the runway with Russian air defense being unable to prevent another drone attack against one of its main military airfields.

Ukrainians managed to achieve this by conducting careful preparation and successfully targeting and destroying a Russian Ninety-Six-L-Six Radar around 15 kilometers west of Belgorod, belonging to an S-400 air defense system. This radar can track up to 100 targets and classify them into different types: aircraft, helicopters, drones, or missiles. A Ukrainian reconnaissance drone Shark detected it and corrected the strike as seen on the released geolocated footage.

The second high-value target was the Russian Nebo-M radar station, which was destroyed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using an ATACMS missile. This strike severely hampers Russia’s ability to detect, track, and intercept both aerodynamic and ballistic threats within a 600-kilometer range, especially as fewer than 10 of these systems remain operational, as Ukrainians have already destroyed around half of the initial number of them. Valued at $100 million, the Nebo-M is notoriously difficult to neutralize, as it uses most modern technology to scan the horizon for aerial threats. Military analysts suggest its destruction is intended to create a clear air corridor, facilitating the effective deployment of Ukraine’s Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

With clear skies in their favor, Ukrainian drone operators successfully struck the Kotluban military arsenal in Russia’s Volgograd region. The attack targeted a facility used for storing and upgrading rocket artillery, which had recently received a shipment of Iranian missiles. Despite robust defenses from Russian electronic warfare and air defense systems, Ukrainian forces completed their mission, triggering massive fires and ammunition explosions. Eyewitnesses reported over 10 powerful detonations at the depot, vividly capturing the scale of the destruction. The full uncensored footage of the Ukrainian attack against this arsenal can be found on our Telegram channel as well.

As if that weren’t enough, Ukrainian forces dealt another blow by…

  9. Your reporting on mayor events on the frontline is nothing short of amazing, expertly using verbal reports, footage and graphics. And you do it consistently. There are many good Ukraine/Russia war reporters like Jake Broe, Denys Davydov, Combat Veteran Reacts, Arthur Rehi, Speak the Truth, The Russian Dude, Operator Starsky, Anna from Ukraine, Prof. Gerdes, Military and History, but your crisp, concise, yet detailed reporting is very valuable. I want to encourage your viewers to support you monthly, supporting your valuable work. I do, myself. Thank you.

  11. Does anyone know when a jet-powered low flying drone become a cruise missle? Is it the guidance that makes the difference (GPS/IR vs manually guided)? If so i wonder what UA uses to guide drones that far into russian territory… satellite? i have no clue

  14. the big picture ? wanna hear something different ?

    what is “sovereignty” ? is Ukraine a sovereign country ?

    Cuba doesn’t have the same sovereignty as the USA. they nearly learned the hard way (in the 1960s) that USA gets to decide that they cannot have long range missiles. Mexico and Nicaragua got the message. they choose peace not full scale sovereignty …

    Ukraine & Georgia are learning the very hard way that it’s not up to them. Russia has said “no NATO membership or even pre-NATO training & weapons donations” 2014. Russia was patient – gave them a chance … 8 years with kindness & diplomacy.

    Ukraine can’t win … it’s either peace on Russian terms or its nuclear war.

    Ukraine has little use for the Donbas anyway – it’s a pile of rubble. they could give it to russia (along with Crimea) to save humanity.

    because peace matters.

    a lot.

    lockheed-martin or raytheon profits matter less …

  16. ВСУ готовятся бежать из Донбасса.
    Подразделения российской армии развивают ранее достигнутые успехи, нанося поражения ВСУ в Донбассе. Боевые действия продолжаются сразу на нескольких участках фронта в ДНР, где противник сдаёт один населённый пункт за другим.

  24. None of these strikes are stopping Russia from advancing in the east and south and now likely the north as the idiotic Kursk operation is getting wrecked. Ukraines strategy is fucking useless.

  28. 🇺🇦🫡❤ Wow! OMG WOW! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🫡🇺🇸 Perfect timing! The Russian bond market is imploding. The yield spiked up to 19%. 😮 and buyers are disappearing.🤔😃 Putin and all of Russia has a huge problem attracting money! SLAVA UKRAINE 😢🇺🇦🫡🇺🇸

  30. Those are things you don't see on the map, but this new jet drone may be a game changer (provided that Ukraine has a better AA defense than Russia).
