Ukraine unleashes record drone swarm on Russia as $94M radar destroyed

Footage appeared to show major damage to Russian military infrastructure in occupied Crimea.

Moscow claimed its air defenses intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones overnight in what it described as a record assault.

The strikes reportedly eliminated Oborona-14 and Nebo-U radar systems, along with two additional radar units located inside a radio transparent dome near the city of Yevpatoria.

Military analysts estimate the destroyed systems were worth around $94 million.

Radar installations play a key role in Russia’s air defense network by detecting incoming aircraft, drones and missiles.

Cemetery footage highlights war losses

Separate footage shared online also highlighted the scale of Russia’s losses during the conflict.

Images showed a large military cemetery in Ussuriysk, a city located thousands of miles east of the front line.

Rows of graves belonging to Russian soldiers appeared to stretch across the site, illustrating the human cost of the war.

One observer reacting to the footage wrote:

“The graves seem to go on forever. What is the point of this war?”

Local resident Natalya Bogatyr said the scale of the cemetery shocked many people in the region.

“Girls, I’ve only seen this on TikTok. And this is right here in Ussuriysk,” she wrote.

Pinpoint accuracy

Ukraine has sent three fully equipped teams to assist in countering Shahed drones in the Middle East.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this while speaking with journalists, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"These teams are professional and fully staffed. All three will be in three different countries this week. The first three countries where we are sending them under our agreements are Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia," Zelensky said.

As previously reported, the United States asked Ukraine for specific assistance in defending against Shahed drones in the Middle East.

In total, Ukraine has received 11 requests for security assistance from countries neighboring Iran, as well as from European states and the United States, including support in countering Shahed drones.

General Oleksandr Komarenko, head of the Operational Command of the Ukrainian General Staff, told RBK-Ukraine on Tuesday that nearly all the territory previously occupied by Russian forces in Dnipropetrovsk has been recovered, reports Digi24. “Almost the entire region has been liberated. Three small villages remain to be freed. Two more still need to be cleared of Russian soldiers,” he said.

The general explained that the recent operations allowed Ukraine to reclaim over 400 square kilometers of land. These gains are part of a broader effort along the Oleksandrivka front line in southeastern Ukraine, where intense fighting continues. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently confirmed that his troops had retaken the same areas of territory.

Ukraine hit a "key" military factory in a missile strike Tuesday on Russia's western city of Bryansk, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said after Moscow gave a toll of six dead in the attack.

"Our soldiers struck one of the key Russian military factories in Bryansk. This factory produced electronics and components for Russian missiles. The very ones that are striking our cities," Zelensky said in a daily address.

In a video posted on social media by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine purportedly showing the attack, a building is rocked by multiple explosions, with plumes of black smoke rising from the site.

After a strike on a Russian ammunition depot in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian forces carried out an additional attack on enemy equipment that was being evacuated from the strike zone, according to the Telegram channel Dosye Shpiona.

According to the source, the first series of explosions occurred on March 11 near the settlement of Shyroka Balka in the Donetsk region. Reports indicate that a Russian military ammunition depot was hit in the attack.

After the detonation, a rapid evacuation of military vehicles began. Columns of equipment started moving westward, trying to leave the strike area.

Follow-up strike on equipment

About half an hour after the initial explosions, Ukrainian forces carried out a follow-up attack on the equipment that had reached the settlement of Manhush, located roughly eight kilometers west of the original strike site.

Reports indicate that five pieces of military equipment were destroyed.

Russian troops have discovered abandoned laboratories at the positions that the Ukrainian armed forces left, where toxic chemicals were produced in a semi-artisanal way in order to be used against civilians and Russian service members.

Kiev’s terrorist acts

Kiev continues to regularly carry out terrorist attacks targeting chemical facilities, posing a significant threat of widespread contamination to both the population and the environment: "Kiev persistently conducts terrorist assaults on chemical and industrial sites, often employing drones. Such actions risk the release of hazardous chemicals, which could lead to large-scale chemical contamination affecting people and ecosystems."

Ukraine steps up deep strikes on Russian targets to disrupt Moscow’s summer offensive

Ukraine has intensified a wave of medium-range strikes against Russian military infrastructure in occupied territory and inside Russia, aiming to weaken Moscow’s preparations for a looming spring-summer offensive.

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Ukrainian forces are increasingly targeting logistics hubs, missile systems and air-defence assets up to 200km behind the front line. The goal: disrupt Russia’s ability to concentrate troops, equipment and firepower for major operations in eastern and southern Ukraine.

The strikes represent a widening campaign to degrade Russia’s battlefield depth before large-scale ground fighting intensifies.

Missile launchers, radars and depots hit

Ukrainian forces reported destroying an Iskander-M ballistic missile launcher preparing to fire from occupied territory near Vyshneve. Another strike targeted a missile storage facility near Kurortne in Crimea.

Kyiv also said drones hit several Pantsir-S1 air-defence systems near Belgorod and damaged a Nebo-U radar station in Crimea — critical assets used to detect incoming aircraft and missiles.

Additional strikes targeted ammunition depots, drone command centres and troop concentrations across the occupied Donetsk Oblast and Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Analysts say these attacks are designed to disrupt supply chains and weaken command networks ahead of Russian offensives.

War expands beyond the front line

Ukraine has also expanded strikes deeper into Russian territory.

Drones reportedly hit infrastructure at the Maykop airfield in the Russian region of Adygea. Other attacks struck the Afipsky oil refinery and port facilities at Kavkaz, both key nodes in Russia’s military logistics network.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian forces used long-range missiles including Storm Shadow and ATACMS to strike a microelectronics plant in Bryansk and destroy a base used to launch Shahed drones.

Race against Russia’s next push

The ISW says the growing strike campaign could complicate Moscow’s plans by forcing Russia to divert air defences and relocate key systems further from the front.

With Russian forces massing troops for new operations, Ukraine appears determined to weaken the offensive before it begins — turning the battle for momentum into a long-range duel far behind the trenches.

According to Ukrainian Defense Intelligence (GUR) cited by L’Independent, Ukrainian special forces carried out an operation that disabled two Russian logistics vessels. The ships, identified as Slavyanin and Avangard, were reportedly used to transport weapons, ammunition and military equipment.

Both vessels played a role in transport operations across the Kerch Strait, which connects the Sea of Azov with the Black Sea. The ships were used in a ferry system linking mainland Russia with the occupied Crimean peninsula. This route has become particularly important as Russia attempts to maintain logistical support for its forces in southern Ukraine.

Among the two vessels, the Slavyanin is considered especially important. The ship is one of the few rail ferries capable of transporting train cars across the Kerch Strait. This allowed Russia to move fuel, ammunition and heavy military equipment by rail between the Russian port of Kavkaz and Crimea.

Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu admitted that the Ural has become a zone of direct threat from Ukraine. “Yes, until recently the Ural was out of reach for air strikes from the territory of Ukraine, but today it is already in a zone of direct threat,” he said.

Strike on the Iskander plant

On February 20, Ukrainian forces carried out a strike on the Votkinsk plant. As later became known, they used Ukrainian-made Flamingo missiles for the attack.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the missiles flew 1,400 kilometers. He added that all the missiles that were launched reached the Russian missile plant.

OSINT analysts reported that the missiles hit building No. 19 of the plant — a galvanic stamping workshop. A breach approximately 30×24 meters in size was recorded in its roof. Analysts noted that the nature of the destruction and the configuration of the collapse indicate that the epicenter of the explosion was inside the building, which likely led to the complete burnout of the interior areas.

In particular, Ukrainian forces targeted the Aviastar aircraft manufacturing plant in the Ulyanovsk region. The facility produces Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft, Il-78M-90A aerial refueling tankers, and also services the remaining An-124 Ruslan aircraft still in use by Russia.

"According to preliminary information, a climate-controlled hangar and aircraft parking areas were hit. Some aircraft located on the premises sustained damage of various degrees. The full extent of the damage is being clarified," the statement said.

Operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces also struck the 123rd Aircraft Repair Plant in Staraya Russa, Novgorod region. This enterprise is involved in restoring Russian aviation equipment.

"This is a unique facility in Russia with a full cycle of repair and modernization of heavy transport aircraft, including Il-76, Il-78, L-410, as well as aircraft engines such as the D-30KP, AI-20, and others," the Unmanned Systems Forces said.

The plant, which has its own airfield, infrastructure, and operates autonomously, is involved in fulfilling state defense orders for the Russian army and participates in export contracts and import substitution programs.

Rare Soviet weapon resurfaces as Russia faces shortages

According to WPtech, Ukrainian military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko says the deployment of the 2S31 Vena reflects growing shortages in Russian artillery.

Old system returns

The 2S31 Vena was originally developed in the late Soviet period as a successor to older mortar systems.

Production only began years later and remained limited, with relatively few units ever built, WPtech reports.

Most of the systems stayed in Russia, with a small number exported abroad.

Kovalenko argues that the weapon’s appearance now is not a sign of strength. “This vehicle appears in the war zone due to a shortage of self-propelled artillery units,” he said.

According to WPtech, he believes Russia is increasingly forced to pull older or rare equipment from storage to sustain operations.

The system itself combines features of a mortar and artillery gun, capable of firing different types of ammunition. WPtech reports it can deliver a relatively high rate of fire, giving it some battlefield utility.

However, Kovalenko noted that its protection is limited and that it suffers from issues typical of equipment produced in small numbers.

Russian casualties are really horrendous over the last few days, if reports are to be believed.

Thousands of dollars for a drone vs millions for a helicopter

On March 19th, the Ukrainian National Guard’s ‘Lasar’s Group’ unit released footage of an attack against a Russian artillery position that consisted of several enemy systems. 

The Russian position reportedly included at least six BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launch systems, which United24 noted is the equivalent of a full rocket artillery battery. The Russian rocket artillery systems were deployed in the Pokrovsk sector, within the area of responsibility of the Ukrainian 7th Air Assault Corps.

The Lasar’s Group worked in cooperation with other drone units to destroy the BM-21s.

According to a report from Militarnyi, the National Guard operators worked in cooperation with the 2nd ‘Shchedryk’ Battalion of the 411th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment ‘Hawks’.

A high-level Nato military delegation, led by Admiral Pierre Vandier, visited Kyiv for the first time since the full-scale invasion.

The two sides discussed the participation of Ukrainian troops in Nato's military exercises in the capacity of a conditional adversary and the future of the Nato-Ukraine joint centre.

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk also shared his suspicions that Hungary has been providing Russia with detailed information from EU Council meetings, a claim denied by Hungary.
