Ukrainian Drones Hit Russian Supply Trucks 770 Times in September
Ukrainian drones struck Russian supply trucks 770 times in September, the highest monthly figure this year. An analyst says supplying Crimea is becoming increasingly difficult and that winter will make it worse.
Ukrainian drones hit Russian supply trucks 770 times in September, the highest monthly total this year. The figure is up sharply from 630 hits in August. The data concerns the logistics serving Russian forces in occupied Crimea, and it reflects Ukraine's continuing effort to disrupt Russian supply lines during the war.
The number of strikes rose even though Russian supply trucks now travel in convoys equipped with their own air defense. This suggests the protective measure has not stopped the increase in attacks.
Analyst's assessment
An analyst cited by Euromaidan Press says that supplying Crimea is turning into a nightmare for the Russian side. The analyst also expects the situation to get worse in winter.
The source gives no further detail on how the strikes have affected specific Russian units, and it does not say who compiled the figures.
