- Ukraine’s deep strikes on ammo depots and weapons factories across Russia aim to weaken its war machine (newsbreak.com)
Ukrainian forces have launched drone attacks on a Russian airbase and a weapons factory deep inside Russia. These strikes mark the latest in a series of targeted attacks on key military facilities in Russia.
The strikes were carried out using domestically produced drones, as Ukraine is prohibited from using Western-provided missiles to strike Russian territory.
US officials and war analysts believe these deep-strike operations will hinder Russian military operations in Ukraine. The attacks have targeted ammunition depots, fuel storage, and aviation equipment at the airbase, as well as a factory that produces weapons and missiles.
Experts believe that Ukraine’s drone campaign could slow down Russia’s offensive operations in the coming months. The strikes have disrupted Russia’s supply lines and made it more difficult to restart offensive operations.
