Ukraine Intensifies Strikes

Ukraine’s defense ministry unveiled a ‘logistical lockdown’ program to intensify medium-range strikes on Russian rear-area logistics.
Ukrainian forces regularly hit high-value air-defence systems, command centres and Federal Security Service (FSB) facilities 20–300 km behind the front line.
Clement Molin recorded over 125 drone strikes on the land-bridge routes used by Russian forces.
The ministry reports Russian casualties exceed 35,000 killed or seriously wounded monthly as attacks quadruple.

History

Historical Context

Operation Desert Storm’s air campaign began on 17 January 1991, when a US-led coalition—including the United States Air Force and Saudi Arabia—launched over 100,000 sorties and thousands of precision-guided missiles that crippled Iraqi supply lines. That deep-strike approach, demonstrated by the destruction of roughly 1,500 Iraqi trucks, now informs Ukraine’s Azov Corps drones targeting Russian rear corridors, showing how Gulf War logistics tactics influence today’s conflicts.
