Over the past couple of months, russian military sources have been reporting that the intensity of Ukrainian strikes on logistics has increased many times over. We are talking about so-called middle strike. Until 2025, despite innovations in drone technology, Ukraine was

losing to russia in this segment. The “drone wall” developed by Ukraine is effective at relatively short distances - up to 20 km from the line of contact. At the same time, long-range drones were developed, which Ukraine has been actively using to strike oil refineries and

the military industry of russia, but until recently Ukraine could not effectively carry out middle strike. This problem began to be actively discussed in the summer of 2025, and since then the Armed Forces of Ukraine have taken the right steps in the right direction. In June,

Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Fedorov announced the appearance on the front line of an analogue of the Lancet - the Bulava strike and reconnaissance complex from the Ukrainian company DeViro. A drone called FP-2 was also presented to perform similar tasks. Today we are seeing

the results of this work. Strikes on logistics have become more frequent, and now russia is experiencing major difficulties in supplying the front line. The new drones are especially active in Crimea. We have all seen numerous strikes on air defense systems, factories and

transport. Without middle strike, it was almost impossible to stop the russian war machine. Despite huge losses during assault operations, russia continued to advance because it was able to quickly replenish losses and accumulate new resources deep in the rear for further attacks

Now, almost every concentration of equipment and personnel does not go unnoticed, and strike drones hit positions or, using obtained intelligence data, cruise missiles are launched at targets. The reduction in russia’s offensive capabilities is due to many factors,

but the fact that Ukraine has solved the middle strike problem directly affects this.
