The number of offensive actions by the Ukrainian Defense Forces has recently begun to exceed those of the russians. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrsky. “The intensity and number of combat actions on their part have decreased. The number of offensive and counterattack actions on our part has increased,” he said.

Analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War also note that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are regaining tactical initiative in various sectors of the front line. According to their data, Ukrainian counterattacks and medium-range strikes on russian logistics have largely neutralized the Russian offensive potential.

"Ukraine is striking deeper and deeper into russia than ever before. russian advances on the battlefield have slowed dramatically and may have stopped altogether," writes the British Telegraph.

The war has come to moscow

Ukrainian defense forces have launched a massive strike on oil refining and defense facilities in and around the russian capital. In particular, the moscow oil refinery, two oil pumping stations, and a defense plant in Zelenograd, a city near moscow that is one of the largest manufacturers of microcircuits, were hit. The destruction of these facilities is a significant blow to the fuel logistics and military capabilities of the aggressor state.

The success of this operation is of particular importance, since moscow and the moscow region are among the most air-defence-protected regions of russia. But the results of the attack indicate that there is no longer a safe place in russia that a Ukrainian drone cannot reach.

Ukrainian robots successfully attack enemy infantry

The fighters of the 100th mechanized brigade conducted a successful robotic assault on an enemy position. In the city of Kostyantynivka, a russian sabotage and reconnaissance group captured an abandoned high-rise building to set up a base. Since there were not enough personnel at the nearest Ukrainian position, the brigade command attacked the invaders with the help of three ground robotic complexes.

The first ground drone acted as a decoy – the russians focused fire on it. While the enemy was distracted, a second kamikaze drone loaded with 300 kilograms of explosives drove up from the rear. The third robot delivered additional weapons to the Ukrainian infantrymen to a neighboring position in advance to complete the operation. After the explosion, the Ukrainian soldiers surrounded the ruins and offered the surviving occupiers to surrender. They refused and opened fire, after which the entire group of eight russians was eliminated.

Long-range Drones were armed with rockets

Fighters of the Ukrainian Forces of Unmanned Systems have used another invention against the enemy: unguided rockets from the sides of long-range drones at an operational depth of up to 500 kilometers.

Unguided rockets are used on helicopters and attack aircraft against ground targets. But in modern warfare, aviation will not reach where Ukrainian drones fly.

“The combined method of use – a kamikaze drone with a 60 kg warhead + 8 rockets – opens up completely different possibilities,” says the commander of the Forces of Unmanned Systems, a major with the call sign “Madyar”.

One of the techniques is that first the unguided rockets hit the air defense and mobile fire groups of the russians, and then the drone attacks the enemy object. Mobile air defense fire groups armed with portable anti-aircraft systems and machine guns are especially vulnerable to rocket attacks. "Madyar" advised the soldiers of the enemy mobile groups to hide in the bushes and not to interfere with the work of Ukrainian drones. 

Ukraine has become a forge of the most modern weapons, and the Ukrainian army has the most advanced experience of modern warfare. Ukrainian soldiers are calling for foreign volunteers to join their ranks and are ready to share with them the most modern military experience.
