00:00Ukraine's drone war has reached a new level, and it is hitting deep inside Russia.
00:05Ukraine launched over 1,300 long-range drones at targets inside Russia in May 2026 alone.
00:12The targets included missile factories, oil refineries, ammunition depots, and strategic
00:17military facilities, some reaching the Moscow region. This represents a dramatic expansion
00:23from 2025's campaign. Enabled by domestically produced Ukrainian drones with significantly
00:29extended range, Russian air defenses intercepted many of the drones but were overwhelmed in some
00:35sectors, allowing strikes on high-value targets. Ukrainian military officials say the campaign
00:41is designed to cut Russian war production at the source, reducing the number of missiles and drones
00:47Russia can fire at Ukrainian cities. The ISW confirmed the strikes are also degrading Russian
00:52logistics from Luhansk to Crimea. Russia responded by launching 229 drones at Ukraine on the night
00:59of June 1. The drone war has fundamentally changed the conflict's geography. The front line now
01:05extends deep into Russian territory itself.
