Russian drone units have carried out a series of strikes against Ukrainian military supply infrastructure in the Kharkiv region, reportedly destroying more than 400 field storage sites since the beginning of autumn.

The figures were provided to RIA Novosti by a commander of an unmanned systems unit from Russia’s 11th Army Corps, part of the Northern Group of Forces, who uses the call sign Karta.

According to the commander, the destroyed facilities included field depots storing ammunition, food supplies, fuel and lubricants for Ukrainian forces operating in the Kharkiv sector.

Karta explained that Russian drone crews maintain round-the-clock surveillance of Ukrainian military supply routes. Aerial reconnaissance identifies cargo unloading points and field storage facilities, which are subsequently targeted by strike drones.

The attacks involve first-person-view (FPV) drones and multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles equipped to drop explosive munitions on designated targets.

In addition to storage facilities, Russian operators target vehicles used to transport supplies to Ukrainian positions. The commander identified unmanned ground vehicles, armored vehicles and other military transport vehicles among the equipment being attacked.

Karta said the sustained strikes were intended to deprive Ukrainian units of ammunition, fuel and food supplies required to maintain combat operations.

He also claimed that disrupting Ukrainian military logistics was depleting the Ukrainian Armed Forces' material resources, undermining troop morale and helping Russian assault units advance in the Kharkiv region.
