## Resource

The ceasefire ends, and the next three days turn into a clear lesson in how modern campaigns are built: hit the systems that generate combat power, then push on the ground. We walk through the reported May 12–15 timeline of long-range precision strikes including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and mass drone use, and we explain why the target set matters so much. Fuel depots, power facilities, defense industry sites, ports, airfields, and drone storage are not “random infrastructure” in military planning terms. They shape how fast units can move, how well they can see, and how reliably they can communicate. From there, we go sector by sector across the front and translate the briefing language into practical meaning. We talk about pressure around Kharkiv and why electronic warfare can decide whether drones dominate or disappear. We dig into what unusually high motor-vehicle losses can reveal about mobility, supply lines, and the vulnerability of convoys in forested or urbanized terrain. We also cover why the center becomes a grinding contest against fortifications and minefields, and how reported activity in Zaporizhzhia is framed as disrupting specialized assault formations before an offensive can form. We end with the piece too many summaries skip: aviation and air defense as the fight for visibility. When thousands of UAVs are intercepted in days, that is not just a statistic, it is a statement about reconnaissance density, targeting cycles, and defensive tempo across a layered system.
