Ukraine’s USF Hit Russian Gas Infrastructure and Supply Chains in Deep Drone Operations, Video

Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) have conducted a coordinated series of long-range drone strikes hitting multiple Russian military targets, transport hubs, and energy logistics across occupied Crimea, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions.

The operations successfully targeted the Hlibivske underground gas storage facility on the Tarkhankut Peninsula. The facility regulates seasonal and daily gas consumption and maintains pressure in Crimea's gas transportation network, which was hit alongside two radar installations, one locomotive, two anti-aircraft armored vehicles, and numerous fuel supply trucks, according to Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, head of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, on June 19.

The operation targeted critical Russian military, logistics, surveillance, and energy infrastructure, including:

• Hlibivske underground gas storage facility (Dozorne, Crimea): struck by operators of the 413th Separate SBS Battalion "Raid."

• Hlibivske research center (Vnukove, Crimea): struck by the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade "Birds of Madyar."

• Locomotive (Rozdolne, Crimea): struck by the 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Center.

• "Repeynik" coastal surveillance radar station (Kamianske, Crimea): struck by the 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Center.

• P-18 "Terek" early-warning radar system (Novovasylivka, Zaporizhzhia region): neutralized by the 5th Battalion of the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade "Birds of Madyar."

Russian Oil Depots Sued for Fuel Lost in Ukrainian Drone Attacks

• Command and observation post of the 656th Motorized Rifle Regiment (Velyka Novosilka, Donetsk region): struck by the 412th Separate SBS Brigade "Nemesis."

• Russian logistical transport assets (Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia directions): targeted by the SBS Border UAS Group "Phoenix" in coordination with the 412th and 20th Separate Brigades.

During June, Ukraine intensified its campaign to isolate Crimea by targeting key logistical infrastructure connecting the occupied peninsula to mainland Ukraine. Ukrainian drones struck several bridges near Chonhar, Henichesk, Myrne, and Armyansk, while naval drones disrupted maritime traffic and attacked ferries operating around Crimea.

Fuel shortages became increasingly severe, affecting both civilian transportation and Russian military operations. Ukrainian officials stated that the goal was to make Crimea increasingly difficult to use as a military hub, reducing Russia’s ability to support offensive operations in southern Ukraine and forcing longer, less efficient supply routes.
