The tenth edition of Dorozvidka comes out on the day of a successful special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), which used FPV drones<\/a> to attack long-range aviation airfields in several regions of Russia. The operation is already being called textbook asymmetric warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Dorozvidka<\/a> #10, Defender Media shares the first details of the special operation, along with news highlights and notable publications from other media over the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation \u201cSpider Web\u201d: FPV drones strike Russia\u2019s strategic aviation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On June 1, Ukraine\u2019s SBU used FPV drones to strike four military airfields inside Russia. Reports say that 41 Russian strategic aircraft were targeted. According to Suspilne<\/em><\/a> sources in Ukraine\u2019s special services, the operation was codenamed \u201cPavutyna\u201d (\u201cSpider Web\u201d) and was personally overseen by SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk. Preliminary estimates place the damage to Russian aircraft at over $2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer Serhiy Sternenko wrote that the mission took over a year and a half to prepare. Initially, the SBU smuggled FPV drones into Russia, followed by small mobile wooden cabins. Once in Russia, the drones were hidden under the roofs of those cabins mounted on trucks. At the right moment, the roofs were remotely opened, and the drones were launched to hit the Russian bombers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s missile program and \u201cdeep strikes\u201d: What\u2019s new?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On May 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the country\u2019s military leadership reviewed the effects of Russian strikes, enemy drone tactics, and how to counter them. He ordered a major ramp-up in production of Ukrainian interceptor drones, to be supported in part by Western funding. \u201cI\u2019ve also ordered separate funding for our ballistic missile program to accelerate missile production,\u201d Zelensky emphasized<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just days later, Ukraine\u2019s Drone Coalition partners announced increased support. After a UAV-focused summit, Latvia\u2019s defence ministry said<\/a> Belgium and Turkey had joined the coalition, bringing the total to 20 member countries. The coalition pledged to allocate at least \u20ac2.75 billion by the end of 2025 to drone procurement and support for Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany to fund production of Ukrainian deep-strike drones<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

German newspaper WELT<\/em> revealed<\/a> that part of Germany\u2019s new \u20ac5 billion aid package to Ukraine will go toward domestic production of long-range drones and missiles. Around \u20ac400 million will fund the Ukrainian-made Bars<\/em>, Lyutyi<\/em>, and Flamingo<\/em> systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bars<\/em> is a new Ukrainian missile capable of hitting targets up to 800 km away. The upgraded AN-196 Lyutyi<\/em> can deliver up to 75 kg of explosives at distances up to 600 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mavic problem \u2014 and how to deal with it<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

China has halted exports of DJI Mavic drones to Ukraine but continues supplying them to Russia, according to Bloomberg<\/em>, citing<\/a> President Zelensky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UP Oboronka<\/em> project looked into<\/a> the role of Mavics in Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces. Hundreds of thousands of Mavic 3 drones are in use in Ukrainian combat and training units. According to military and UAV experts interviewed by Oboronka<\/em>, spare parts and second-hand Mavic 3s will remain available until at least the end of 2025. The outlet also reviewed current alternatives to the Mavic 3 and Ukrainian efforts to develop a domestic equivalent \u2014 a priority for the Brave1 defence tech cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brave1 drone tech expert noted that around ten teams within the cluster are now working on Mavic-style UAVs, most with flight-ready prototypes. However, no developer has yet matched the capabilities of the Chinese-made drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Strategic Industries and the Unmanned Systems Forces hosted<\/a> a demo event showcasing Ukrainian multirotor reconnaissance drones as Mavic alternatives. Seven domestically made drone models were presented and tested over three days under heavy EW interference, high winds, and rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a killzone?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Militarnyi<\/em> <\/a>published<\/a> a detailed article on the concept of a \u201ckillzone,\u201d which is increasingly used to describe sections of the front in the Russia-Ukraine war. The article explains what a killzone is, its layout and components, means of control and firepower, and other technical aspects. It also includes insights from Ukrainian drone unit soldiers and details about the Drone Line<\/em> project \u2014 a nationwide initiative to stabilize the front and build deep killzones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine joins Link-16<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine and NATO signed a license agreement for the use of the CRC System Interface (CSI), a piece of non-commercial software developed for NATO\u2019s Control and Reporting Centers. Deputy Defence Minister Kateryna Chernohorenko said<\/a> this will enable coordination between Ukrainian and NATO aircraft in a shared digital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

The software is part of NATO\u2019s Link-16 data exchange protocol \u2014 often referred to as NATO\u2019s \u201cmilitary Wi-Fi.\u201d Link-16 enables integrated command of aircraft (such as F-16s and Mirage 2000s) and air\/missile defence systems like Patriot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ArmyInform<\/em> published an explainer<\/a> on how CRC System Interface and Link-16 work \u2014 and why they\u2019re crucial to NATO\u2019s digital battlespace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czech TRL Drones unveils Shahed interceptors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Czech company TRL Drones has developed two types of autonomous interceptors to counter Shahed-type drones. These UAVs can autonomously take off, fly to a target, and strike without operator input. Demonstration flights were held at the IDET international defence expo, attended<\/a> by a Militarnyi<\/em> correspondent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
