Russia has recently extended its ability to hit moving targets deep inside Ukraine. By linking its drones through a “mesh” network of radio relays, it can now fly long-range drones up to 200km into Ukrainian territory from its side of the border. This is having deadly consequences:

Drone intranet. All based on chips that are not imported from the West. We are not keeping up with rapid developments of relatively simple tech used in an innovative way. Remember katyushas ?

Range risk (Economist): Russia’s mesh-linked drones can now fly up to 200km into Ukraine. Longer-range strikes keep energy and logistics infrastructure in the blast radius — another cost channel for households behind the meters.

JUST IN: 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇷🇺 Britain’s 1,000-Km Strike Drones Are Taking The War Deep Into Russia, Moscow Erupts Britain has supplied Ukraine with long range attack drones capable of reaching up to 1,000 km, while British made drones are now reportedly being used in deep strikes against targets inside Russia. Among them is the Nyan, a jet powered precision strike drone developed by BAE Systems’ Callen Lenz, with a 2.9 metre wingspan. Other British supplied systems reportedly have dramatically longer reach, up to around 1,000 km, according to reporting on Ukraine’s deep strike campaign. The significance isn't just distance. Britain is expanding Ukraine's ability to hit high value targets far beyond the front line, while London has committed to providing 150,000 drones to Ukraine in 2026. 🇷🇺 Moscow has responded with warnings of “consequences” for Britain, accusing London of deepening its involvement in the war. 1,000 km of reach. British technology. Russian targets deep behind the front. And Moscow is furious.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 MOSCOW’S NIGHTMARE NOW HAS WINGS AND A 3,000 KM REACH Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missiles are heading toward Russia, carrying the war deep into territory Moscow once assumed was safely beyond Ukraine’s reach. With a range of up to 3,000 km, the Flamingo dramatically expands the map of potential Russian military and war-supporting targets Ukraine can reach with its own long-range weapons. Russia invaded expecting distance to protect its strategic rear. Ukraine is steadily taking that assumption away.

Ukraine has just solved one of the deadliest problems for its bomber drones Dropping low to aim used to make Ukrainian drones easy targets for enemy rifle fire. A new guided munition called Firefly, developed inside Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, changes that completely It strikes targets up to 800 meters away, calculates its own trajectory after release, and corrects course to the target while ignoring Russian electronic warfare That means Ukrainian drones can now destroy enemy bunkers and fortifications from a safe distance Enemy jamming just became irrelevant 🎥 Brave1

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 U.S.-Ukraine intelligence cooperation is back at full strength. After a brief interruption in 2025, Washington has reportedly restored intelligence sharing with Kyiv to its previous high level, significantly enhancing Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities. According to Politico, intelligence sharing between the United States and Ukraine has fully rebounded following its short suspension in March 2025. The report states that the renewed cooperation has substantially improved Ukraine’s ability to plan and execute deep-strike operations using long-range drones and precision missiles against targets deep inside Russian territory. The restoration of high-intensity intelligence support is expected to further strengthen Ukraine’s capacity to identify, track, and engage high-value military targets, reinforcing the effectiveness of its long-range strike campaign.

‼️ZELENSKYY: Russia plans to use Belarusian territory and temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory to build ground control stations for long-range drones. “We will react harshly to Belarus continuing to provide its services to Russia in terror against Ukraine. Special equipment has already been installed on Belarusian territory to support Shahed attacks against Kyiv and our northern regions along the Belarus border. This unfortunately intensified Russian strikes, but we acted and eliminated those antennas. Now our intelligence reports that Russia plans to continue using Belarusian territory and temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory to build ground control stations for long-range drones. The responses to this will be tangible” - UA President on Monday, March 23, 2026.

Why are Russia’s jet-powered drones so difficult to shoot down? Speed is only part of the challenge. According to aviation expert Anatolii Khrapchynskyi, relay stations deployed by Belarus along the border provide Russian strike drones with high-quality communications deep into Ukrainian territory, helping them accurately reach their targets. “The operating range of such a relay allows it to cover a 140-kilometer perimeter. So, if, say, a communications antenna is located on Belarusian territory near the Chornobyl exclusion zone, there is a direct line of radio sight over the Kyiv Reservoir that allows it to cover 140 kilometers - meaning the entire territory of Kyiv falls within its range. That’s why it’s clear why they feel so comfortable in Ukrainian airspace,” an aviation expert explains. Source: Radio Liberty
