I also assess the pressure on Moscow-bound air traffic, the reported strike on the Sterlitamak petrochemical plant in Bashkortostan, and Ukraine’s continuing campaign against Russian military infrastructure in Crimea.I then compare these operations with Russia’s continuing Shahed and jet-drone attacks on Odesa, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, and Kherson. The strategic question is whether low-cost drones, air-defense attrition, and deep strikes can impose costs on Russia’s war effort while Russia continues to accept heavy casualties for limited ground gains.00:00 Overnight Ukrainian strikes across Russia01:37 Sochi and Adler: oil depot and air-defense claims05:06 Deep strike on Bashkortostan and Crimea06:31 Russia’s overnight drone campaign against Ukraine10:02 Battlefield losses and Russia’s August casualty costs12:27 FPV drones and the economics of battlefield attrition14:07 Crimea, Moscow airports, and strategic pressure15:51 Where Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign goes next#UkraineRussiaWar #Sochi #Moscow #Crimea #S400 #DroneWarfareFacts over noise.
