Ukraine is intensifying its campaign against Russian supply lines by deploying a new generation of domestically manufactured drones. This strategic shift leverages Ukrainian innovation to strike at the logistical backbone of Russia's military operations on the front lines.
The latest drone strategy relies on mid-range unmanned aerial vehicles, specifically models such as the FP-2 and the Behemoth.
