The army of the Russian Federation, thanks to drones, began to move in the forests of Donetsk.
In the spring of 2025, the invaders were able to block Ukrainian supply lines in wooded areas thanks to optical fibers. In particular, in the Lesun forest in the direction of Liman and Siversk. This is indicated in the report of the American Institute of War (ISW).
Russian visual drones are increasingly depriving Ukrainian troops with the opportunity to move safely forest roads, which were previously protected from Russian drones from the forest cover, experts say.
It is also noted that improved reconnaissance drones allow the Russians to apply missile strikes on Ukrainian landfills.
In addition, ISW said that the invaders began to use tactical drones with a high range of flight or other modifications for strikes in Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure in large border cities. For industrial infrastructure, in hospitals and military revenues in the cities of Kharkiv, Sumy, Kramatorsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, the enemy uses drones like “Lightning”, “Blueberries” and “Lancet”.
It should be recalled that the invaders are preparing launchers in the area destroyed by Russian airport Donetsk. It was noted that the placement of the launchers for drones-Kamikaze “Shahanded” closer to the front line will reduce the response time to Ukrainian air defense.
