Ukraine has launched its largest drone attack on Moscow since the war began, signalling a massive turning point on the frontline.
In this episode of Battle Plans Exposed, military expert and former intelligence planner Philip Ingram breaks down how Kyiv has achieved total drone superiority.
We expose the desperate reality of Russian tactics—from commanders forcing specialised drone operators into frontline infantry “meat grinder” assaults, to troops riding unprotected quad bikes into catastrophic drone ambushes.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is executing a cold, calculated siege of Crimea, blinding Russian air defences by wiping out billion-pound S-400 radar systems and cutting off vital logistical lifelines.
Plus, we take an exclusive look at the groundbreaking domestic hardware driving this shift: the new jet-powered Boris cruise missile drone capable of striking 800km deep into Russia, and Kyiv’s brand-new, indigenously developed guided aerial glide bomb.

On the battlefield, Ukraine is kicking ass. What the country still needs is sufficient air defense capabilities.
Or weapons to destroy the manufacturing plants of these missiles.
Ukraine have a good strategy. Many analysts have stated logistics win wars, and cutting off the enemies supplies is crucial. russian arrogance thinking their road from Mariupol to Crimea was safe, got an almighty wake up call. I don’t see how mafia land can stop Ukraine from destroying everything that moves on that road.
I said a long time ago that Ukraine must destroy the enemy’s logistics. I just hope that they can maintain the pressure and that the cockroaches won’t start building net tunnels. If they do, then Ukraine should have a backup plan.
Would you want to build a net that is constantly being watched by drones? 😊
No.
