How Ukraine’s Long Range Strikes are Draining Russia

Ukraine’s deep strike campaign is entering a new phase. In May 2026 alone, Ukrainian forces launched more than 1,300 long-range drone strikes against targets deep inside Russia, reaching critical military and industrial infrastructure once considered untouchable. Missile factories, oil refineries, semiconductor facilities, ammunition depots, airbases, and air defense systems are increasingly finding themselves within range of Ukrainian drones.In this video, we break down how Ukraine is penetrating Russia’s layered air defense network, the technology behind its rapidly evolving drone fleet, and the intelligence architecture that allows strikes hundreds of miles beyond the front lines. We examine the role of domestic drone production, electronic warfare, satellite intelligence, and precision targeting in a campaign that is steadily forcing Moscow to divert resources away from the battlefield.Using maps, satellite imagery, combat footage, and open-source intelligence, we analyze the strategic impact of these attacks and whether they are successfully degrading Russia’s ability to sustain the war. We’ll also explore why Russian air defenses are struggling to stop the growing volume of incoming drones and what this means for the future of modern warfare.As Ukraine’s deep strike network expands, Russia’s rear areas are becoming part of the battlefield. The question is no longer whether Ukraine can reach Moscow—it’s how much damage it can inflict once it gets there.https://x.com/Cappyarmyhttps://www.instagram.com/cappyarmy/
