Ukraine's drone onslaught is escalating! Over 200 drones striking deep into Russia. Forget static frontlines; the battlefield is 3D. See the videos & witness the revolution.
The Whirring Revolution: Ukraine’s Drone Onslaught 🇺🇦💥
Dawn. Not birds, but the whir of engines is what breaks the silence now. These aren’t the lumbering strategic bombers of the Cold War; these are swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles, and they’re changing the calculus of this fight in Ukraine. We’ve seen bits and pieces, whispers and grainy footage, but recent activity suggests a significant escalation in Ukraine’s drone capabilities and their willingness to strike deep into Russian territory. Forget the static frontlines; the battlefield is now three-dimensional, and the Ukrainians are exploiting it. Several recent YouTube videos paint a stark picture of this evolving reality, showcasing the scale, audacity, and potential impact of what’s becoming Ukraine’s drone onslaught. This ain’t your grandpappy’s war.
Key Takeaways from the Front Lines of the Information War:
Unprecedented Scale: Multiple reports indicate a massive surge in drone attacks. Video 1 and 2 both highlight an attack involving over 200 drones hitting multiple regions within Russia. That’s not a probing attack; that’s a statement. We’re talking about coordinated strikes across a vast geographical area, stretching the Russian air defenses thin.
Deep Strikes Becoming Routine: The notion of a safe rear area for the Russians is being challenged. Targets as far as 1200 kilometers inside Russia were reportedly hit (Video 4). This signifies a growing reach and sophistication in Ukraine’s drone program, raising questions about the origin and capabilities of these platforms. The descriptions mention strikes on industrial facilities, airfields, and fuel depots – targets with clear strategic value.
Evolution of Drone Tactics: It’s not just about dropping ordnance. Video 3 shows a Ukrainian drone equipped with a shotgun, engaging Russian UAVs in what amounts to aerial dogfights. This innovative, almost desperate, adaptation highlights the dynamic nature of this conflict and the resourcefulness of Ukrainian forces. Forget your Hollywood depictions of drone warfare; this is down and dirty, close-quarters combat in the skies.
Psychological Impact: The titles of videos like "BREAKING: Ukraine HAMMERS Russia…" (Video 4) and descriptions mentioning "Putin PANICS" (Video 4) and "unprecedented scale" (Video 6) point to the intended psychological effect of these strikes. Beyond the physical damage, these attacks are designed to sow fear, disrupt operations, and force the Kremlin to divert resources to homeland defense. Remember, in war, perception is often as important as reality.
New and Evolving Technology: Video 2 specifically mentions a "new Ukrainian Shahed variant." This suggests a continuous development and adaptation of drone technology on the Ukrainian side, likely learning from and countering Russian tactics. This technological arms race in the drone domain is a critical aspect of the conflict.
Targeting Key Infrastructure: The attacks are not random. Strikes on fuel tanks (Video 1, 6), refineries (Video 1), and industrial plants (Video 4, 5, 6) indicate a deliberate strategy to degrade Russia’s ability to wage war. These aren’t just pinprick attacks; they’re aimed at the arteries of the Russian war machine.
Beyond the Headlines: The Gritty Reality
These videos, viewed through the lens of someone who’s seen the aftermath of explosions and the vacant stares of those caught in the crossfire, tell a story beyond the raw numbers. Each drone represents a calculated risk, a piece of technology employed by individuals making life-or-death decisions. When you see reports of strikes on fuel depots, remember that’s not just about disrupting logistics; that’s about the potential for devastating fires and the human cost for those working there. The mention of ATACMS missiles alongside drone strikes in Video 1 underscores the multi-domain nature of these attacks, highlighting the coordination and sophistication involved.
The video showing a drone with a shotgun is particularly striking (Video 3). It speaks to a level of improvisation born out of necessity. Imagine the pilot, miles away, trying to line up a shot with a shotgun mounted on a small drone. It’s almost comical, but in the brutal calculus of war, if it works, it works. It also raises questions about escalation and the blurring lines of what constitutes conventional warfare.
The Unfolding Narrative (Don’t Call It a Conclusion)
What we’re seeing is a shift. Ukraine, despite being outgunned in many areas, is leveraging its ingenuity and access to drone technology to take the fight to the enemy’s doorstep. This isn’t just about inflicting damage; it’s about forcing Russia to react, to divert resources, and to acknowledge the vulnerability of its own territory. The drone onslaught is becoming a significant factor in shaping the narrative and potentially the outcome of this conflict. Scroll down and take a look at the videos. The story they tell is more than just headlines; it’s the sound of a new kind of war being waged.

Russia has been slammed with a major drone attack overnight, striking 1200 kilometers into the Russian Federation, and causing severe damage to Russian industrial and warfighting abilities. Meanwhile Russia is on the verge of Bankruptcy, and the central bank has moved to seize all assets of Russian citizens worth more than $13,300. The Russian Duma is attempting to stop this, but either way the Russians go they are in a terrible situation; facing open revolt or complete bankruptcy. Russian losses are continuing to mount, and France considers sending peacekeepers into Ukraine. North Korea fired a ballistic missile, and US sanctions have stopped Russian oil tankers in their tracks. China is now testing their amphibious landing barges meant for an invasion of Taiwan.

Silicon Bites #81 – Ukrainian Drones Pound Russian Infrastructure on a Totally Unprecedented ScaleSilicon Curtain33,697 views | 3,201 | January 15 2025 20:09:14 (148 comments)[ Read more … ]
Edition No81 | 15-01-2025 – Ukraine has steadily been increasing its strikes against targets deep within Russia since the conclusion of the US election. But before we get into the details of the latest strikes over the weekend, let’s review how this started last week with the huge, ‘multi-day’ targeting of Russia’s Engels airbase infrastructure. ———-
At relatively short notice, we’re organising two events in Ukraine in the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel.
https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras
But it costs. Last time the overall cost was 3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there’s less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I’m creating a campaign to raise 5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can.
Ukraine has targeted Russia’s Engels airbase and associated infrastructure in ‘multi-day, comprehensive operation’. This was reported by Kyiv’s 14th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment reported on Jan. 14. This unit is part of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces; they claimed the attacks were intended to “reduce the enemy’s strategic aviation capabilities”.
It’s also been reported, and footage on social media seems to attest to this, that they struck aviation fuel tanks at the Kristal oil plant used to supply Russian long-range bomber aircraft.
“We are doing our best to ensure that Engels fire crews, who have just put out the flames after the previous attack, are not left without work in the face of the increasingly difficult economic situation in Russia.” The Ukrainian unit is quoted as saying.
The attack had also seemed to have targeted ammunition warehouses at the airbase which store cruise missiles and glide bombs. Several explosions were heard in the area, according to local reports from Russian Telegram channels. ———-
