"Unprecedented Drone Warfare Unfolds in Ukraine, Shaking Russia's Borders"

The drone war in Ukraine has highlighted the challenges faced by the US military in dealing with widespread drone use. While the US has been using unmanned aircraft for surveillance and strikes for decades, the threat posed by enemy drones, including civilian models repurposed for attacks, has become more significant. The US military is now working on strengthening its drone defenses to counter this new aerial threat. The proliferation of modified drones and larger unmanned aerial vehicles has presented a new challenge for ground troops, who previously enjoyed air superiority. Adapting to the variety of drones used for attacks has proven difficult, as traditional air-defense weapons are often costly and not always effective against smaller drones.

Ukraine-Russia tensions escalate with drone strikes and oil depot fire.

Oil depots in Russia and Ukraine were set ablaze in drone attacks as both sides escalate their attacks on infrastructure ahead of Ukraine's planned spring counter-offensive to end Russia's invasion. Russia blamed a Ukrainian drone for a huge fire at an oil terminal on its side of the bridge to occupied Crimea, while Ukraine says destroying infrastructure supporting the Russian military in Ukraine is part of its preparation for the planned ground assault. The Federal Security Service (FSB) said it had arrested seven people connected with Ukrainian intelligence and accused them of planning "a series of high-profile sabotage and terrorist acts" in the annexed peninsula.

Russian Strikes Continue in Ukraine, Causing Destruction and Casualties

Oil depots in Russia and Ukraine were set ablaze as both sides escalated a drone war targeting infrastructure ahead of Kyiv's planned spring counter-offensive to try to end Moscow's all-out invasion. Ukraine said it had shot down 21 of 26 Iranian-made drones. The two sides have been launching long-range strikes since last week in apparent anticipation of Ukraine's upcoming counteroffensive, expected to be one of the most decisive phases of the war.
