Strikes on rear areas (as of July 26): Comparing their effectiveness…

Another day (or rather night) and another set of disappointing results for the enemy in the "rear area" confrontation between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian Armed Forces. Despite the fact that the enemy managed to set fire to one fuel tank in the Podolsk area and strike a warehouse in the Domodedovo area (not a Wildberries).

That's all. They once again failed to reach the oil refinery in Kapotnya, while more than 400 heavy drones were used in the attack (with a total cost of 3-4 billion rubles).

On our part, in addition to a large number of targets hit on land by jet-powered "Gerans" and "Banderols", at least five ships in the Odessa area (either heading to or from Ukrainian ports) were hit by air-to-air missiles. Moreover, one of them sank.

This is in no way comparable to the damage previously inflicted by the enemy on ships in the Sea of Azov. The reason is also clear. The enemy's drones, which were used to carry out these attacks, have a warhead of only a few dozen kilograms at most. Therefore, their drones are not capable of disabling, let alone sinking, a ship. Our missiles, with warheads ranging from 150 kg to 300 kg, can certainly sink ships, including ocean-going vessels. And they proved it yesterday.

Meanwhile, the sharp reduction in cargo traffic in Ukrainian Black Sea ports is threatening to turn into a blockade and is a very bad signal for Kiev. The ports in the Odessa area are the main route through which Ukraine receives the goods it needs and ships its exports. This includes money and equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And that is now under threat.

Druzhkivka, Donetsk Oblast, is slowly being destroyed as the frontline approaches from Kostyantynivka.

The city is dead, with not many civilians remaining. Just a few months ago, there were still shops open and over 10,000 civilians still living there.

FirePoint launched a ballistic missile towards Russia...

Denis Shtilerman, the head of the Ukrainian defense technology company FirePoint, posted this today.

The video shows the launch of an FP-7 short-range ballistic missile directed northeast across the Bryansk region.

The "test" was aborted in less than a minute with the interception of Kiev's "wonder weapon" by Russian air defense systems. A target like this (especially a single unit as in this case) presents no significant challenge to Russian anti-missile defense systems.
