Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) carried out a large-scale overnight strike on July 6, hitting 47 Russian military targets, including two fuel tankers transporting gasoline to temporarily occupied Crimea, two S-400 Triumf air defense launchers, an oil depot in Kerch, and a Nebo-U radar system.
SBS Commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi on June 6 described the operation as one of the most significant recent strikes against Russian military infrastructure.

According to Brovdi, among the most significant targets were two tankers from Russia's so-called shadow fleet operating in the Sea of Azov. The vessels were transporting fuel from the area of Taganrog to occupied Crimea, each carrying approximately 7,000 tonnes of gasoline—equivalent to around 200 railway tank cars.
Ukrainian forces also struck an oil storage facility in Kerch, a key logistics hub supplying Russian forces on the occupied peninsula.
In addition, Brovdi said Ukrainian drones destroyed two launchers of Russia's S-400 Triumf long-range air defense system. One launcher was reportedly hit while deployed in a firing position in Russia's Bryansk region, while the second was destroyed inside a shelter in temporarily occupied Crimea.
According to the SBS commander, the S-400 systems had been used to launch ballistic missiles against ground targets in Ukraine.
Overall, Ukraine's drone warfare campaign has hit more than 800,000 confirmed Russian military targets and killed or seriously wounded an estimated 167,000 Russian troops since the beginning of 2026.
According to the Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, the verified targets engaged this year include Russian personnel, air defense systems, artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, drones, ground robotic platforms, military vehicles, command centers, ammunition depots, and electronic warfare equipment.
