Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted 200 objects in Russia – Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi

In Russia, the Ukrainian military utilized long-range attack drones to strike approximately 200 critical infrastructure targets.

The Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's armed forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated this in an interview with the British publication The Guardian on July 24.

As Syrskyi said, Ukrainian naval drones sank approximately one-third of Russia's Black Sea Navy.

"It really became a trap for them and for some [vessels – ed.] a grave," Syrskyi emphasized.

According to him, the Russian fleet was forced to "completely withdraw" from the port of Sevastopol in occupied Crimea after a series of Ukrainian attacks.

The general also noted that all objects hit by Ukrainian kamikaze drones on the territory of Russia were related to "military logistics" and included factories, fuel, and ammunition warehouses.

However, Syrskyi refused to name the terms of the possible destruction of the Kerch bridge connecting the occupied peninsula with the Russian Federation. However, he emphasized that Kyiv plans to return to Crimea.

"It's real. Of course, it's a big military secret," the general said.

For reference:

Ukraine is urging its Western allies to authorize the use of their weapons for attacks inside Russian territory. While the partner countries are considering their options, Ukraine is launching long-distance strikes with drones.

So, on July 23, in the Krasnodar region, drones attacked a ferry ship in the Kavkaz port. The Conroe Trader railroad ferry was probably hit during the strike.

Also, on July 22, in the Russian city of Tuapse, there were about five explosions from the local oil depot. The occupiers then also reported on the alleged successful repulse of the UAV attack.

Furthermore, in early May, a Ukrainian Security Service drone successfully targeted an oil refinery in Russian Bashkortostan, setting a new historical record by covering 1,500 kilometers.
