Ukraine’s drone campaign reshapes rear warfare as Moscow braces for 2026 offensive

Ukraine’s 2026 operations have escalated a drone- and mid-range strike campaign that targets Russian artillery, drone operators, ground lines of communication, and air-defense assets behind the front lines. This has degraded Russia’s artillery preparation and communications, generated local Ukrainian gains in multiple sectors, and forced Moscow to bolster rear-area drone networks and form new Combat Army Reserve units (BARS). The broader campaign includes strikes in occupied Crimea and Donbas, amid sanctions dynamics involving Belarus and Western responses. Overall, Ukraine’s drone-centric campaign is complicating Russia’s Spring–Summer 2026 offensive and reshaping battlefield decision-making.
