Agents of the Russian partisan movement ATESH, including members of the Russian armed forces, report significant changes in Russian military logistics, stating that warehouses storing FPV drones and ammunition are being rapidly relocated further away from the front line.
According to a statement published by ATESH on Telegram on May 12, one such storage site has already been identified near Mariupol

The partisan movement claims that not only the quantity of Ukrainian drone activity at the front has changed, but also its quality and operational depth. According to their assessment, strikes are now reaching targets that were considered out of range just a year ago.
A Russian serviceman who reportedly contacted ATESH described the shift in logistics practices, saying: “Previously, we stored everything just a few kilometers from positions—now it is suicide.”
The movement claims that increased losses of storage facilities have forced Russian command to relocate ammunition depots and drone stockpiles deeper into rear areas. Whereas six months ago ammunition and UAVs were kept as close to the frontline as possible to reduce resupply times, they are now being stored significantly further away.
Ukrainian drone forces have also reportedly expanded their reach to Russian territory, further illustrating the growing depth of strikes against rear-area logistics infrastructure.
According to analysts from the monitoring group CyberBoroshno on April 28, a Ukrainian drone targeted an ammunition depot belonging to Russia’s “Rubikon” unit inside Russia’s Belgorod region.
The facility was allegedly located in a disused sugar factory in the settlement of Nova Tavolzhanka, close to the border with Ukraine and near the city of Vovchansk.
Analysts published footage showing a series of explosions at the site. In the video, Russian personnel are seen sheltering in a basement as ammunition stored at the facility detonates.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian unmanned systems units targeted a Russian fuel train in the Luhansk region, disrupting key logistics essential for supporting Russian military movements.
The operation was conducted by the 1st Separate Center of Unmanned Systems, utilizing intelligence and targeting assistance from the Security Service of Ukraine. Confirming the successful strike, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, remarked that “negative refueling” was underway in the temporarily occupied town of Stanytsia Luhanska.
