## Resource

Ukraine didn't just conduct another overnight drone attack—it appears to have accelerated a campaign designed to cripple Russia's military logistics. Overnight, Ukraine launched approximately 850 long-range drones into Russia, more than six times the number Russia launched into Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian forces struck 15 additional Russian vessels, bringing the reported total to 105 ships targeted in just eight days, while Russia suffered one of its highest casualty days of 2026. If this campaign continues, the strategic implications extend far beyond a single night of strikes.00:00 Ukraine Launches 850 Drones Into Russia00:34 Overnight Strike Overview01:02 Ukraine's Shadow Fleet Campaign Expands03:26 Why Russia's Sea Lifeline Is Under Threat05:30 Oil Depots, Ports, and Logistics Under Fire07:07 Russia's Overnight Strikes on Ukraine09:28 One of Russia's Worst Casualty Days of 202611:17 Crimea's Growing Isolation11:55 What Happens After 105 Ships Are Disabled?13:19 Final Thoughts: Is Russia Still Underestimating Ukraine?#Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar #SeaOfAzov #BlackSea #Crimea #MilitaryAnalysis #ProfessorGerdesFacts over noise.
