Frontlines Evolve: Drones Redefining the Battlefield
This ain’t your grandpappy’s war. We’re watching a conflict unfold where the rules of engagement are being rewritten in real-time, up in the air. Ukraine, outgunned in conventional forces, has turned to asymmetric warfare, and drones are their spearhead. Forget tanks rolling across open fields; think swarms of unmanned aircraft piercing deep into enemy territory. These ain’t just surveillance tools anymore. They’re precision strike weapons hitting Russian bases, factories, and supply lines – places once considered safe havens far from the front. What we’re seeing isn’t just about blowing things up. It’s about degrading Russia’s ability to wage war, bit by bit, strike by strike. The videos coming out paint a stark picture: the bear is feeling the sting, and the drones are delivering the punch.
Key Intel Drops: Drone Offensive Highlights
Deep Strikes Becoming Routine: Forget the old front lines. Ukraine’s drones are hitting targets deep inside Russia – hundreds, even a thousand miles from the border. This isn’t just potshots. We’re talking strikes on critical infrastructure like factories producing explosives (Video 6), oil refineries (Videos 3 & 4), and even naval bases in the Caspian Sea (Video 5). This reach is new, and it’s forcing the Russians to rethink their entire rear area security.
Targeting War Machine’s Gears: The focus isn’t just on frontline troops. These drone strikes are precision surgical attacks aimed at the arteries of the Russian war effort. Factories churning out fighter helicopters and military hardware (Video 2), fuel depots supplying the front lines (Videos 3 & 4), and explosive production facilities (Video 6) – these are the targets that cripple an army’s ability to fight. It’s about attrition, not just on the battlefield, but in the industrial heartland.
Beyond the Battlefield – Psychological Warfare: Striking targets deep inside Russia has another dimension: psychological impact. It shows the Russian population that the war isn’t some distant operation. Explosions in Rostov, Voronezh, even Kazan – that’s bringing the reality of the conflict home. It erodes the sense of security, raises questions about air defense capabilities, and puts pressure on the Kremlin. War isn’t just about territory; it’s about will. And these strikes are chipping away at the enemy’s will to fight.

Adapting and Evolving Tactics: The attacks aren’t one-offs. They’re evolving. From oil depots in Rostov (Nov 2024) to factories in Tatarstan (Jan 2025) – the range and targets are expanding. Even the Caspian Sea fleet, hundreds of miles away, isn’t safe (Nov 2024). This suggests a learning curve, an increasing sophistication in Ukrainian drone capabilities and operational planning. They’re not just throwing drones at targets; they’re figuring out how to hit harder, deeper, and more effectively.
Russian Air Defense – Cracks in the Armor?: The videos and reports hint at vulnerabilities in Russian air defenses. While they claim to shoot down drones (Video 4), the strikes are still getting through and causing significant damage. Medvedev meeting with military-industrial reps to ramp up air defense production (Video 2) tells you all you need to know. If their air defense was airtight, they wouldn’t be scrambling. These drone strikes are exposing weaknesses and forcing them to divert resources to plug the holes.
Asymmetric Advantage: Drones Leveling the Field?
This drone offensive isn’t a game-changer in the sense of suddenly winning the war. But it’s a significant factor. Ukraine is using technology and ingenuity to fight back against a numerically superior foe. Drones offer a relatively cheap and effective way to strike critical targets, disrupt supply lines, and keep the pressure on Russia. It’s asymmetric warfare in action. We’ve seen the US military leverage airpower for decades. Now, Ukraine is showing the world how a smaller nation can use unmanned systems to punch above its weight. This is going to reshape military doctrine and strategy for years to come. The age of drone warfare is here, and this conflict is a brutal, real-world proving ground.

Ukrainian drones destroy rapidly Russia’s fighter-helicopter factories, military-industrial basesKanal1367,539 views | 1,649 | January 25 2025 06:00:06 (61 comments)[ Read more … ]
#Kanal13 #likekanal13 #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 – SUBSCRIBE TO US! The Russian authorities are interested in strengthening air defense to protect the objects of the military-industrial base, in particular because the state of the Russian economy is deteriorating. This is stated in an analytical report by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
It is noted that the Kremlin is taking measures to protect industrial facilities in the border regions of Russia from Ukrainian strikes.
Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev met with a group of representatives of the military-industrial commission of the Bryansk region to discuss increasing the production of Russian air defense systems and protecting industrial and government warehouses in the region.
Medvedev also visited the Bryansk Chemical Plant to “see what the situation is there” as the plant continues to fulfill a Russian state defense order after previous Ukrainian strikes on it.
Analysts add that Ukrainian strikes in the Russian rear were mainly aimed at a defense industrial base and other facilities supporting Russia’s military efforts, including the Bryansk chemical plant.
Recently, Ukrainian drones targeted industrial plants in Russia’s republic of Tatarstan around 1,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
Tatarstan’s regional government said an “attempted attack by enemy drones” to target unidentified “industrial enterprises” was neutralized without causing any injuries or damage. At least two regional airports had grounded flights during the attacks.
Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s disinformation countermeasures center, said explosions were heard in the Tatarstan capital city of Kazan, which houses the Gorbunov Kazan Aviation Plant, Kazan Helicopters and the Kazan State-Owned Gunpowder Plant.
“These aren’t the first attacks, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to secure Russia’s skies,” Kovalenko wrote on Telegram without explicitly acknowledging that Ukraine carried out the drone strikes. President Vladimir Putin visited the plant last February when he flew a Tupolev Tu-160M strategic bomber. In the Kaluga region near Moscow, debris from a downed drone sparked a fire at an industrial site but it was quickly put out.
Ukraine’s long-range drone strike campaign has a number of goals. The most immediate objective is to undermine the Russian war machine by targeting military infrastructure and the country’s economically vital energy industry.
Strikes on Russian air fields have been credited with damaging a number of military planes used in the Kremlin’s bombing campaign of Ukraine’s cities and civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials believe the recent attack in Tver region destroyed significant quantities of Russian munitions including artillery shells and missiles.
At this stage, Ukraine’s bombing raids on Russian oil refineries remain on an insufficient scale to plunge the Kremlin’s vast energy industry into crisis. However, Ukrainian drone attacks are frequently followed by media reports of decreased Russian refining capacity. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join – click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism

#Kanal13 #likekanal13 #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 – SUBSCRIBE TO US! As a result of an innovative special operation, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine managed to defeat the Russian flotilla in the Caspian Sea for the first time. The distance from the state border of Ukraine to the target is about 1,500 kilometers.
As Unian media outlet was informed by intelligence sources, the attack with the help of kamikaze drones took place on the morning of November 6. As a result of the UAV strikes, at least two objects in the city of Kaspiysk, in the Republic of Dagestan were damaged. In particular, these are probably the missile ships “Tatarstan” and “Dagestan”. Small missile ships of Project 21631 were also probably damaged.
According to media reports, coastal troops, including marines, are based at the damaged facility. The attacked flotilla launched missile strikes against Ukraine, and the 177th Marine Regiment took part in battles in the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions.
Also, according to the source, as a result of the operations, the airport in Makhachkala has also been suspended.
Andrii Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation of Ukraine says that the port in the Russian city of Kaspiysk was attacked. In particular, according to Kovalenko, ships of the Russian Navy are located in Kaspiysk. Kaspiysk is the main base of the Red Banner Caspian Flotilla of the Russian Navy. It is located in Dagestan, 15 km from Makhachkala. According to open sources, Russian coastal troops, including the naval infantry, are stationed here. The garrison consists of about 1,500 personnel. In particular, the following are located in Kaspiysk: A landing pad where ships and hovercraft, previously part of the 242nd Landing Ship Division, are stationed. These vessels, no longer part of the fleet, are used for marine infantry training. Fuel and lubricant bases. An arsenal for coastal troops. A training range. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join – click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism

Ukrainian drones attacked factories producing explosives for Russian army in 3 regions overnightKanal1338,215 views | 1,220 | October 22 2024 19:10:11 (47 comments)[ Read more … ]
#Kanal13 #likekanal13 #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 – SUBSCRIBE TO US! Four enterprises in Russia were attacked by drones of Ukraine. These are: Luzhkovskiy and Yefremovsky distilleries in the Tula region; Biokhim plant – complex processing of sugar-containing raw materials into different types of alcohol; Russian distilleries produce, in particular, explosives and fuel for military needs. Russian authorities have reported that UAVs struck premises belonging to the Russian company Biokhim in Russia’s Tambov Oblast and an industrial facility in Voronezh Oblast on the night of 21-22 October, and an airport in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, has been closed. “An explosion occurred at the premises of JSC Biokhim in the town of Rasskazovo, presumably after a drone strike. It caused a fire to break out.”, Maksim Yegorov, the governor of Tambov Oblast said. Yegorov stressed that there were no casualties, the fire was extinguished in an hour, and all the necessary services were on duty. Gusev also claimed that there had been a drone attack on Voronezh Oblast. “Air defence and electronic warfare assets and personnel on duty detected and suppressed a UAV in one of the districts of Voronezh oblast. It fell on the building of a machine hall of an industrial facility”, Alexander Gusev, the governor of Voronezh Oblast said. Gusev also stated that there were no casualties, but there was a “small fire on one floor of the building”. As of 07:00, fire crews are working at the scene. Gusev added that the risk of a drone attack in the region remains. TASS, citing the Federal Air Transport Agency of Russia, reported that the Nizhny Novgorod airport had been temporarily closed, presumably due to the threat of a Ukrainian drone attack. A little earlier, Russian Telegram channels reported that the airport had introduced the Kovyor plan, meaning that it was closed and planes were being diverted to other airports. Biokhim’s website shows that the company produces various types of alcohol, fusel oil, liquid carbon dioxide and Barda molasses organic fertiliser. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join – click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism
