Ukrainian Strikes on Russian Airbase Disrupt Drone Attacks
Recent Ukrainian strikes on a Russian airbase have likely disrupted the Kremlin's ability to launch drone attacks, according to Global247news reporters at the front line.
The successful attack, carried out on June 21, has reportedly caused significant damage, potentially forcing Russia to relocate its drone operations to bases further from Ukrainian territory.
“It is highly likely that, in the short term, these strikes will cause some disruption to Russia’s ability to use Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to strike targets deep within Ukrainian territory from these locations,”
They added that while this disruption is likely to be temporary, as Russia may disperse its UAV operations to less vulnerable bases, Ukraine is expected to continue its counter-UAV campaign.
“There is a realistic possibility that Russia will disperse its UAV operations to less vulnerable bases and hence the impact will be likely temporary," they stated. "It is likely that Ukraine will exploit its recent successes and continue with its counter-UAV campaign to the detriment of Russia.”
This latest development underscores the ongoing strategic battle between Ukrainian and Russian forces, highlighting Ukraine's efforts to neutralize one of Russia's key offensive tools—its drone fleet.
