Ukrainian drone operators from Signum have released footage showing a series of middle-strike missions against Russian targets well beyond the immediate front line, the 59th Assault Brigade of Unmanned Systems reported on October 20.
The compilation shows strikes against a vessel, Russian mobile fire groups, a semi-truck, passenger and cargo vehicles, as well as Russian infantry operating deeper in the rear.
Signum said it is increasingly relying on middle-strike drones for missions of this kind, giving its crews the ability to reach targets far beyond the line of contact and disrupt Russian logistics, personnel movements, and defensive units before they approach the front.
The unit gave the strike on the vessel a particularly pointed caption: “Russian warship, is that you?” referring to the final communication made on 24 February 2022, the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when, during the Snake Island campaign, a Ukrainian border guard spoke to the Russian missile cruiser Moskva.
Previously, reports emerged that Ukraine’s repeated strikes on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet have created a growing maintenance problem for Moscow, leaving damaged warships with few safe places where they can undergo lengthy repairs without becoming stationary targets.
