The Russian military has been effectively hunting down Ukrainian military units responsible for drone attacks on Russian territories.
Recently, at least three such units were targeted with missile strikes, according to video footage shared by Russian media on May 31 and June 1.
The first Ukrainian drone unit was targeted in Chuhuiv Air Base in the Kharkiv region with an Iskander-M ballistic missile armed with a fuel-air explosive enhanced-blast warhead. The strike reportedly destroyed six drone launchers, six support vehicles, including two which were used for transporting drones, and more than 30 suicide drones.
The second unit was stuck right after it arrived at an airstrip next to the settlement of Krolevets in the Sumy region to launch a drone attack.
An Iskander-M missile armed with a cluster warhead hit entire airstrip, destroying four drone launchers, including two mobile ones, three control systems, more than 15 suicide drones. The strike also left more than ten members of the unit dead or wounded.
This unit was reportedly behind some of the Ukrainian drone attacks that targeted the Russian region of Kursk in recent days.
The last drone unit was also targeted in Sumy, close to the settlement of Voronezh. A Kh-35 cruise missile hit an underground post where the unit was deployed. It destroyed a mobile drone launcher and three control systems. In addition, at least seven members of the unit were killed or wounded.
The Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile is said to have a range of nearly 500 kilometers and can be armed with different types of conventional warheads, weighing between 710 and 800 kg. The highly-maneuverable missile is guided by a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system. It can be also equipped with an optical seeker with a digitized scene-mapping area correlator system for terminal guidance.
Meanwhile, the Kh-35 is a subsonic anti-ship cruise missile with a land-attack capability. The latest version of the missile is equipped with a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system along with an active radar homing head. It has a range of up to 260 kilometers and can cruise as low as four meters from the surface to avoid detection.
Faced with multiple defeats in the special military operation zone, Ukraine stepped up drone attacks on Russian territories in recent days in a desperate bid to improve its position. The attacks were largely ineffective and provoked a serious response from the Russian military.
The recent videos from Kharkiv and Sumy indicate that the Russian military is now targeting Ukrainian drone units more effectively. This goes to show how much the Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance, also known as ISTAR, capabilities of the Russian military has evolved since the start of the special military operation more than three years ago.

a chinese cm-400akg hypersonic missile, launched from a pakistani jf-17 fighter jet, destroyed a russian s-400 air defense system stationed at adampur, india, in seconds, marking a major milestone in modern warfare.
compared to china russia is very very backward country. hardly more than just vassal.
lada is not better than ferrari.

iskander suppositories, guaranteed anal orgasm.
wow! so russia is just now after 10 years of this using it’s intel organizations to root our “drone operators”?… are we going to find out one day that many of these drone(s) being launched as deep into the country as moscow are actually being assembled “somewhere in moscow” and launched against targets inside moscow?…. or perhaps st. petersburg???…
scumbag russia will never be big power again. putin is destroying russia left to right north to south. russia is becoming mongolian vassal.
so what do think about when chinese missiles are elimimating russian crap s-400 systems in india?
this is brics where russia is just a cuckold.
ukraine has carried out a successful attack on russia’s olenja air base in murmansk on sunday. several russian bombers are burning like torches.
as mentioned so many times before: russia can’t defend itself because russian military is incompetent, weak, fragile and corrupted.
multiple russian tu-95 heavy bombers are burning after a massive ukrainian fpv drone strike in murmansk.
multiple russian tu-95 heavy bombers are burning after a massive ukrainian fpv drone strike.
did russia lost 4-5 or even 40 bombers in murmansk airbase?
there were two targets: olenya and belanya airbase. video is showing 4-5 tu-95 burning but there were several other smokes of burning or damaged aircraft
sunday 1 june 2025 was very bad day for russian aviation. more results from murmansk coming soon.
about 10 explosions were reported in the area of the dyagilevo airfield. according to available information, there are currently 3 tu-95ms and 4 tu-22m3 strategic bombers stationed at the site.
vladimir p. might not be happy about news coming from murmansk area. russia humiliated once again.
one airbase hit by ukrainian drones was around 200 km southeast from moscow and one in siberia.
zh “ukrainian drone swarm attacks hit russian long-range bombers” looks like the russian federation’s military needs to pick up the pace on eliminating the problem more rapidly and exponentially… i’d say anything in the kiev center(s) of power that “move”!…
sorry but russian paper bear has been tested and found weak and corrupted. all your military fantasies are ridiculed.
pop some “pop corn” cia/mi6 bitch and stay close to the next act. your fantasy $uicide is getting closer by the minute… that, or watching your bank account($) and properties go bust first. my bet is that you will provoke wwiii before that happens because you insane m-f$ would rather be obliterated by a nuclear exchange than lose your place at the head of the table. …
russia once again humiliated by skillful ukrainian drone operations. paper bear has also started to be in panic.
thanks to ukraine👍. well done when burning down dozens of russian bombers.
andrei martyanov and scott ritter are pissed off what ukrainians did today to russian aviation.
russian peaceful heavy bombers destroyed🤣
russia’s strategic bomber fleet burns!
drones were lunched from trucks near 4 airfields deep inside russia.
more than 40 planes destroyed at: – olenya air base in murmansk – belaya air base in irkutsk – ivanovo air base in ivanovo – dyagilevo air base ryazan
heads should be rolling if this attack is verified as orchestrated inside russia. poutine and the top military commanders should be the first on the list to “depart”!… this gets back to the question why russia didn’t start seeking out and purging western european, u.k./u.$. government and those with “other work visas” 8 years ago!… stunning embarrassment.
good ! hunt them , hunt them , hunt them .
he he looks like the 3 cars got away before russia hit. russia only observe with their low level drone cameras and hit whe everything is empty,
russian customs allowed containers with nato and ukraine drones into russia to attack and destroy russia properties. someone not doing their job. russia getting humiliated and foreign minister is looking tired and haggard lately.
