russia spent 3 years and billions building an "impenetrable" air defense network around Crimea. Ukrainian drones just casually skimmed the waves around Crimea to hit a russian ship near its home port, 400 km away.

The fortress has become a hunting ground.

So what changed?

Three years ago, Crimea was wrapped in one of the world's densest air defense networks—dozens of radars, missile batteries, sophisticated systems.

Ukraine's TB-2 drones, which dominated early in the war, became sitting ducks over Crimean airspace.

russia had built an impenetrable bubble.

But Ukraine went to work. Strike by strike, they picked apart those defenses.

Now those same "vulnerable" TB-2s cruise freely over Crimea, and Ukrainian drones reach 400 kilometers into russia to hit ships in what Moscow thought were completely safe waters.

When your billion-dollar defensive network can't stop relatively cheap drones, you've lost more than equipment. You can't protect anything anymore.

Ukrainian forces struck and damaged another ship supporting russia’s war effort on the Black Sea on Thursday night.

Another ship strike isn’t remarkable. In the 43 months since russia widened its war on Ukraine, the Ukrainians have sunk or damaged roughly a third of the russian Black Sea Fleet’s three dozen warships.

Most notably, the cruiser Moskva, holed by two Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles way back in April 2022.

What’s notable about the Thursday
euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/11/ukr…
strike on the Project MPSV07 rescue and salvage ship was how and where Ukrainian operators hit it.

The 73-m salvage ship, operated by russia’s auxiliary rescue agency, was patrolling just outside the port of #Novorossiysk, in southern russia, 400 km from the front line.

3/
Rather than send a squadron of comparatively slow drone boats or expend a precious cruise missile that might cost $1 million or more, the Ukrainian military intelligence service, the HUR, flew a fixed-wing attack drone at very low altitude all the way to Novorossiysk, and struck the Project MPSV07’s bridge area, where many of the most delicate electronics are.

The hit on the Project MPSV07 had the effect of “destroying its electronic warfare systems and forcing it out of action,” the Ukrainian strategic communications service announced

⚡️Update: Key russian oil hub suspends operations after Ukrainian drone strike, SBU source says.

Primorsk in Leningrad Oblast serves as a key hub for Russia's "shadow fleet,” processing shipments of 60 million tons of oil every year, an SBU source told the Kyiv Independent.

After a Ukrainian drone strike, fires broke out at one of the vessels and a pumping station, forcing the suspension of oil shipments, according to the source.

Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) drones struck Primorsk, russia’s largest oil-loading port on the Baltic Sea, overnight on Sept. 12, a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent.

Primorsk in #leningrad Oblast serves as a key hub for russia's "shadow fleet" of aging tankers used to avoid sanctions, the source said.

Roughly 60 million tons of oil pass through the port every year, bringing russia roughly $15 billion, the source added.

After the Ukrainian drone strike, fires broke out at one of the vessels and a pumping station, forcing the suspension of oil shipments, according to the source. This could allegedly cost russia up to $41 million a day

3/
SBU drones also successfully struck three oil pumping stations that are part of a pipeline system funneling crude to the Ust-Luga port terminal in Leningrad Oblast, the source claimed.

Primorsk lies roughly 100 kilometers (60 miles) from St. Petersburg and over 900 kilometers (550 miles) north of the #Ukrainian border.

The statement comes after tussian officials and media reported a large-scale drone attack targeting Leningrad Oblast, Moscow, and other areas overnight on Sept. 12

IN MEMORY:

She was the first in her class to switch to Ukrainian, and after coming of age she joined Azov.

In memory of 19-year-old "Daria Lopatina"

“Do not fill yourself with the fire of revenge. If there is fire, it will be cold, Only a clear calculation, only a professional approach. Do not do nonsense. Ukraine no longer needs heroes. Ukraine needs victory, not heroism. This is my will to you ,” says Mykhailo Lopatin to his daughter’s siblings. His Daria, call sign Delta, died💔 at the age of 19.💔

The cemetery is crowded on this September day.

Many are young. Some in military uniform, others in civilian clothes.
- In their hands are sunflowers, dahlias, and red roses. ...😢

Parents bend over the coffin of their Daria. The husband hugs his wife with one hand and strokes his daughter's hair with the other.

He looks at the storm cloud that has blackened half of the sky.

You can hear the fluttering of flags and the creaking of metal flagpoles on the graves of the defenders.

"For Dasha, there is nothing more valuable than freedom.
- She died for freedom. Ukraine, in her understanding, was the highest manifestation of this freedom. This is my daughter, this is my wife's daughter.
- But there are no more copies of my daughter in this world ," adds Mykhailo, holding back tears.....

The girl who wasn't afraid to be different..

Daria was born in Kyiv in July 2006. In the 5th grade, she started studying at a private school and became one of the best students.

Darya's classmates recall that the girl, often having an opinion opposite to the majority, was not afraid to express her disagreement.

She debated and presented arguments on various topics - religion, politics, or LGBTIQ+.

Therefore, it is not surprising that she traveled to all-Ukrainian debate competitions.

“And Dasha was probably the first in our class who had a strong core of what identity and patriotism should be ,” recalls Sofia Radysh.

Worth Reading:

Ukraine And russia Race To Deploy Advanced Interceptor Drones

Over the course of the russia-Ukraine War, drone technology has advanced at a rapid pace.

The current Shahed and Liutyi drones are far more sophisticated and versatile than the Orlan 10s and Bayraktar TB2s used at the start of the conflict.

2/
These advancements have been matched by significant progress in counter-drone technology. In particular, both sides have developed an impressive array of non-kinetic, electronic warfare systems
forbes.com/sites/vikrammi…
that disrupt drone operations.

However, they are now racing to develop and field interceptor drones, which are designed to target and destroy enemy drones through kinetic engagement.

3/
The increasing need for drone interceptors stems from the growing number and sophistication of drones on the battlefield.

The introduction of fiber-optic drones has reduced the effectiveness of traditional jammers, since these systems are resistant to electronic warfare.

Many drones are also incorporating advanced artificial intelligence processing, allowing them to operate in failsafe modes when their command signals are jammed.

At the same time, the sheer volume of drones being deployed has begun to overwhelm conventional air defense systems, which are expensive and limited in supply.

These circumstances have created a need for a kinetic counter-drone method that is both affordable and capable of being produced in quantity
