Today there is a lot of news from the Russian Federation.
Here, Ukrainians launched a bold and coordinated campaign of long-range strikes targeting critical infrastructure in Russia’s Rostov, Krasnodar, and Chechnya regions. By crippling airbases, ammunition depots, and logistical hubs supporting the Donbas offensive, these strikes delivered a significant blow to the Russian Pokrovsk and Kurakhove offensive operations.
The latest development occurred when Ukrainian forces launched a massive drone strike against the Millerovo airbase in Russia’s Rostov region. This high-profile attack, involving 15 drones, showcased Ukraine’s growing capability to target not only deep into Russian territory but also aiming at objects that are known to be severely guarded by air defense. While Russian sources claimed no personnel or equipment losses and released footage of their alleged repulse of the attack, the same images were later used by military analysts to geolocate the approximate point of the strike.
A technical and operational facility that performs maintenance and routine repairs on aircraft based at the airfield is located in the designated area. The Russian 31st Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Aerospace Forces, equipped with Su-30SM and Su-35 fighter jets, is stationed at the Millerovo airbase. Tactical aviation takes off from the base to participate in combat operations against Ukraine. Hence, the attack aims to directly disrupt the air support for the Russian troops in Donbas which will benefit Ukrainian forces. The second major strike focused on an ammunition depot near Novocherkassk, also in Rostov Oblast, reportedly used by Russia’s 150th Motorized Rifle Division. The December 22 attack destroyed a substantial munitions stockpile, significantly reducing Russian firepower in frontline operations. The destruction of this depot also complicates resupply efforts, further straining Russian logistics that are already in a vulnerable position.
The third target of Ukraine’s recent strikes was the Novoshakhtinsk Oil Refinery, a critical facility in Rostov Oblast that supplies fuel to Russian military operations. On December 18, a coordinated drone and missile assault caused significant damage, igniting a fire at the catalytic cracking unit. This refinery, processing 7.5 million tons of oil annually, is now fully offline, cutting off a vital source of fuel for Russian forces and dealing a logistical blow to their war effort.
Another critical target was the Kamensky Chemical Plant, hit by a Storm Shadow missile strike several days ago. This facility produces rocket fuel, explosives, and ammunition components essential to Russia’s wartime production. The attack caused severe damage to key buildings, disrupting the supply of crucial materials for Russian missile systems and ammunition. The strike also demonstrated Ukraine’s precision capabilities, marking one of the boldest uses of Western-provided long-range missiles on Russian territory despite initial claims that they are only allowed to be used in the Kursk region.
These attacks also highlight the evolving strategy of combining drones and precision-guided missiles to target a diverse range of critical infrastructure. Drones are often used to initially offload Russian air defense and make the decision-making process for its operators as hard as possible. Then it is easier to use the benefits of the more expensive missiles to cause significant damage with pinpoint accuracy.
Another significant Ukrainian strike targeted a Chechen Akhmat unit base in Grozny, Republic of Chechnya, employing a variety of drone types. While Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov claimed that two drones were successfully intercepted, subsequent footage and eyewitness accounts revealed at least four powerful explosions at the military installation. This base, a critical hub for deploying Chechen forces to Ukraine, suffered substantial damage, highlighting the reach and precision of Ukraine’s expanding strike campaign.
Overall, by focusing on airbases, fuel production, ammunition stockpiles, and industrial facilities in Russia’s rear, Ukraine aims to weaken the ability of the enemy to sustain its military operations in Donbas. The strikes not only disrupt supply chains but also force the Kremlin to divert resources to repair and defense efforts, creating new vulnerabilities across multiple fronts. The intensity and precision of these operations reflect a deliberate shift in Ukraine’s approach, signaling its ability to escalate pressure on Russia while undermining its logistical and industrial base. As the war continues, these strikes represent a significant challenge for Russian forces struggling to adapt to the growing sophistication of Ukrainian tactics.

Ukrainian Soldier Brave Stand: Russian Soldiers Neutralized in Close Combat! Mercenaries CapturedTEW2290,666 views | 2,737 | December 27 2024 14:28:13 (66 comments)[ Read more … ]
Ukrainian forces continue to demonstrate tactical superiority and innovation, particularly in countering Russian aggression. In Pokrovskoe, the 32nd Brigade repelled a Russian sabotage group in close-quarters combat, with one soldier decisively eliminating two enemy operatives, forcing the rest to retreat under heavy fire. This successful defense underscores Ukraine’s preparedness to counter infiltration tactics in contested areas like Donetsk, critical for maintaining logistical and defensive lines.
In another operation, the 96th Battalion used surveillance drones to identify and neutralize four Russian soldiers sheltering in a dugout. Despite attempts to retaliate, Ukrainian Hunter drones systematically tracked and eliminated them in urban terrain. Separately, an untrained Russian soldier panicked at a drone’s presence, accidentally neutralizing his comrade with a ricocheted grenade, epitomizing the chaos within Russian ranks.
Further showcasing their drone warfare mastery, the 110th Mechanized Brigade neutralized four Russian soldiers under a bridge with precise drone strikes. In the Kurakhovskoye direction, the 214th Battalion destroyed a Russian armored vehicle and nearby personnel using coordinated drone attacks. These operations highlight Ukraine’s technological edge and discipline, which continue to dismantle Russian fortifications and erode morale.
