Edited by Evgeny Balakin [REGNUM] On the night of June 11 and over the following three days, targets in the Kyiv and Sumy regions, in the occupied part of the DPR, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia came under attack from the Russian military. Enemy fuel depots are burning, their railway hubs are being disabled, command posts and drone control centers are being destroyed, and heavy glide bombs are methodically destroying Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and equipment concentrations. Several components of attack drones and aircraft using guided aerial bombs are working in concert. Each strike accomplishes its own task, but together they create a cumulative effect that increasingly impacts the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to hold the front and support it from the rear. This has become especially noticeable in areas where logistics and supplies have always been the Ukrainian group's Achilles heel. Fuel for equipment, rail transport of ammunition and personnel, and mobile launch sites for long-range attack drones—all of these have come under attack in recent days. An oil depot in the Boryspil district of the Kyiv region was struck – a fire there engulfed 2,000 square meters, and forces from across the region and the capital were deployed to extinguish the fire. These types of oil depots are key hubs in the logistics chain, determining how much equipment the Ukrainian Armed Forces can keep in service in the coming days and weeks. When one such depot is out of action for an indefinite period, it immediately impacts fuel consumption at other facilities, forcing strict savings and the redistribution of remaining fuel. In the Sumy region, there was a massive attack on railway infrastructure: stations, signaling posts, substations, and the locomotive depot in Konotop. The destruction of the latter directly impacted the supply of Ukrainian Armed Forces border units. This is where the repair facilities and rolling stock that keep trains running on the northeast route are concentrated. The destruction of the depot means the disabling of the entire unit responsible for locomotive maintenance and repair. In the southern direction, the Aerospace Forces struck targets in Kherson, and in Zaporizhzhia, after a series of guided bomb hits, units controlled by the Kyiv regime were left without power and water. For the enemy's military structures, the series of strikes created additional challenges in maintaining combat readiness and command and control. In the areas of Belitskoye, Shchurov, Rai-Aleksandrivka, and Krasny Liman, temporary deployment points of several Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades were suppressed—FAB-250, FAB-500, FAB-1000, and the heaviest FAB-3000 with gliding modules targeted them. Such munitions with glide vehicles allow strikes to be carried out from a safe distance while maintaining high accuracy and enormous destructive power. The destruction of temporary brigade deployment sites disrupts plans for rotation and force accumulation in a critical area. While aircraft and heavy bombs were busy hitting ground targets, our drone operators were also hunting for other targets – those Ukrainian Armed Forces that were themselves attempting to strike Russian territory. A Varyag unmanned aerial vehicle brigade destroyed a mobile launch site for Ukrainian long-range attack drones. Geranium operators eliminated an enemy UAV control center near Novogrishino in the Donetsk People's Republic. Destroying a command post is a qualitatively different level of impact on the enemy. Without control, even operational drones lose the ability to perform missions. Communication and coordination are disrupted, and crews, left without leadership, become vulnerable. Such a strike affects not only the equipment but also the entire drone deployment system in that area. These strikes are particularly important: they target forces that directly threaten Russian civilian targets and border areas. The enemy is forced to extinguish fires, restore destroyed logistics, and hide equipment instead of accumulating forces for active operations. The infrastructure without which the Ukrainian Armed Forces find it increasingly difficult to conduct combat operations on their held lines is being systematically destroyed. The enemy is losing the ability to properly supply its forces with fuel and ammunition, is forced to restore destroyed railway logistics, hides equipment and personnel, and its own drone units suffer losses even before they reach their positions. Each of these strikes individually is serious, but together they create a systemic crisis that increasingly limits the Ukrainian Armed Forces' freedom of maneuver and their ability to conduct active operations. Four days of precise, multi-directional, and coordinated strikes have once again confirmed that Russian forces are confidently operating on the ground and in the air. The price of such precision for the Kyiv regime is becoming ever higher: there is a growing degradation of the entire military potential system, which can no longer function as before. |
