Ukraine 🇺🇦 continues to launch an important number of mid-range strike, targeting Russian 🇷🇺 logistics in occupied territories

Since early may, more than 270 trucks have been hit, together with multiple fuel depots and trains.

In total, Ukraine 🇺🇦 striked around 270 trucks and vehicles more than 20km from the frontline since early may.

I still need to add earlier proofs, but this number is probably closer to 350-400 confirmed losses this year.

This strike campaign is only started, progressively scaling. Drones are primarly targeting key roads as well as fuel trucks in occupied territories.

In Crimea, a widespread fuel penury is ongoing after Ukraine's repeated strikes.

@tochnyi gathered evidences of 26 different units using at least 14 different types of drones.

The most known and used ones are FP-1 and FP-2, Hornet, Bulava, Ram X and B2. However, multiple other one, with less media focus are in fact very useful.

These drone strikes have been allowed by a massive Ukrainian S/DEAD in occupied territories, hiting as much as 174 air-defense and radar systems this year, including 115 launchers and 59 radars.

Most are can be proved on video footage, with part of those here :

Ukrainian forces are constantly looking for fuel trucks, which are a priority target.

Around 30 of those have been destroyed so far, which further complicates all the logistics.

A Hormuz doctrine can be brought here : you don't need to hit all of them to prevent the other ones from crossing...

For the last few days, important fuel shortage were ongoing in Crimea. Indeed, fuel trucks are not allowed on the Kerch bridge, while part of the ferries going from Russia to Crimea cannot be used after multiple strikes.

The main suitable road is going through southern Ukraine.

Today, two fuel trucks were seen burning on the Southern road of Crimea, going from Kerch to Sebastopol.

I tryied but didn't manage to geolocate this video (I think satellite images are too old to find the correct area).

Based on @DrnBmbr map, multiple gas station are out of use (red), while multiple other ones (orange) are limitating the gas sold.

The situation is impacting both the military and the civilian businesses, further complicating logistics.

If initial strikes were hitting key roads, more and more secondary roads and paths are being struck.

On these videos, we can see multiple strikes on secondary roads of southern Zaporizhzhia.

Today, Ukraine striked again multiple trains in Crimea.

Geolocated here :

Today, the ukrainians hit a construction truck at the entrance of Horlivka, showing that even this city is targeted.

Multiple drones have been hitting logistics in the city lately.

We shouldn't forget that mid-range strikes exclude the kill zone and the short range strike, which are also very important and very numerous, but Russia is conducting nearly as much strikes than Ukraine in this area of the front.

Thanks for following this new thread, I will continue to update the map as much as possible.
