The military also highlighted the operation geography, demonstrating the ability to strike targets deep in the rear.
"Some of these strikes were carried out in parts of Donbas that have been occupied by Russia since 2014," the unit emphasized.
Previous USF operations
Recently, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have conducted a series of successful deep-rear operations. In particular, the USF, together with other elements of the Defense Forces, disrupted the Russians' R-280 logistics route in the south.
During that operation, troops from the 412th Nemesis Brigade of the USF used classified strike-wing drones to sever the key Russian route linking Mariupol, Melitopol, and Simferopol, while also targeting enemy vehicles and supply convoys.
In addition, on the night of May 30, USF units carried out massive strikes against 23 military and logistics facilities in the Russian operational rear.
During what Ukrainian forces described as an "explosive night" in Russia and occupied Crimea, drones struck elements of Russia's oil logistics network, including a tanker from the Russian shadow fleet, an oil depot in Taganrog, and a marine oil terminal in Feodosia.
As part of the same large-scale overnight operation, pilots of the Unmanned Systems Forces, working alongside other units, struck a training ground used by a Russian brigade linked to atrocities committed in Ukraine's Bucha.
The strikes were carried out at distances of 70 to 100 kilometers from the front line, resulting in 21 confirmed hits on military camps and logistics facilities used by several Russian armies.
