Ukrainian forces hit Russian drone bases as commanders outline frontline strategy

Ukrainian forces have targeted four Russian drone command facilities in a single day, including a temporary base operated by the "Rubikon" drone center in occupied Berdyansk, Zaporizhzhia region, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Alongside deep-strike operations, Ukrainian frontline officers provided insight into recent tactical operations. A company commander involved in the "Vivaldi" offensive in the Lyman sector noted that delayed frontline reporting by local Russian commanders granted Ukrainian assault units critical time to secure positions. Meanwhile, Colonel Lasiychuk of the 7th Air Assault Corps explained that prioritizing defense toward Dobropillia over Pokrovsk prevented broader operational failure. Furthermore, leadership from the "Madyar's Birds" brigade reported expanding its specialized 7th Center, which focuses on long-range strikes behind enemy lines.
