Ukraine prepares mass long-range drone operations deep in Russia
Ukraine’s Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has announced a surge in the intensity of drone strikes on military targets inside Russia at a meeting with journalists on June 26, Interfax-Ukraine reported on June 27.
Ukraine is preparing to contract tens of thousands of additional long-range drones to significantly ramp up attacks on Russia’s war machine.
Umerov disclosed that a decision had been made about two weeks ago to increase the number of these operations severalfold.
Last year, Ukraine developed a strategic plan for systematic long-range strikes. These deep-into-Russia attacks are being carried out by long-range UAVs, which are delivered daily according to an established schedule, Umerov added.
On June 22, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi noted that Ukraine now possesses more FPV drones than Russia.
However, he warned that Russia has made gains in producing fiber-optic drones and now holds a technological edge in that area.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
