Ukraine’s Long-Range Drone Strikes Shatter Russia’s Sense of Security—Urals Hit for First Time

Ukraine has dramatically expanded the range and frequency of its drone attacks, striking targets deep inside Russia, including the Urals region for the first time—up to 1,800 kilometers from Ukrainian territory.

These strikes have targeted Russian oil infrastructure, military sites, and supply lines, causing significant logistical and economic damage. Ukrainian officials, including President Zelenskyy and drone commander Robert Brovdi, have emphasized that no part of Russia is now safe from Ukrainian attacks, and that the range of strikes will continue to increase. The campaign marks a new phase in the war, with Ukraine leveraging advanced drone technology to disrupt Russian operations and morale.

Russia has acknowledged the growing threat, as Ukraine’s drone forces now account for a substantial portion of enemy targets destroyed.
