Ukraine’s mid-range drone operators are waging a relentless war of attrition against Russian road logistics along the vital R280 highway – the so-called land bridge connecting Rostov to occupied Crimea.

Since May, Ukrainian forces have hit more than 3,000 Russian trucks and military vehicles along critical supply routes, leaving Putin’s convoy network littered with the charred remains of fuel tankers and armoured transports.

In this clip from Battle Plans Exposed, former military intelligence planner Philip Ingram details how mid-range strike drones are picking off supply columns daily.

From severed bridges near Kherson to major tactical blunders in the Dnepropetrovsk sector – where Russian troops packed armour, artillery, and fuel into a single target – Ukraine is turning millions of pounds worth of equipment into burnt scrap metal.

Meanwhile, in Kharkiv, Ukrainian border guards have shattered a Russian pincer attempt, liberating key areas up to the border while exposing the massive disconnect between Kremlin reports and reality on the ground.

Plus, see how Ukrainian air defence nets are stopping Russian Lancet drones at 186mph and how drone teams are striking back before enemy launches even happen.
