From: Kyiv Post by Jason Jay Smart — Ukraine has launched its boldest drone strikes yet—crippling Russia’s military machine from the inside. Fighter jet factories, fuel plants, and missile systems were hit in one coordinated offensive.
In July 2025, Ukraine escalated its drone warfare strategy by striking deep into Russia’s military-industrial core. Targets included the Lukhovitsy Aircraft Plant, Kronstadt UAV Plant, Shcheglovsky Val Air Defense Plant, and the Redkinsky Research Fuel Facility. These are not symbolic hits—these are system-critical nodes.
By disrupting the production of MiG fighters, ISR drones, Pantsir-S1 missile systems, and aviation fuel additives, Ukraine is systematically dismantling Russia’s ability to sustain combat operations. This marks a strategic turning point in modern warfare—where drones, not divisions, decide the balance of power.
