Night of Drone-Missile Onslaught Tests Ukraine as Mid-Range Campaign Escalates

ISW’s March 14 assessment describes a large nighttime Russian campaign against Ukraine on March 13–14, featuring Zirkon hypersonic missiles, Iskander-M/S-400 and Kalibr missiles, Kh-101 and Kh-59/69 missiles, and roughly 430 attack drones, with Kyiv and other regions suffering civilian casualties and power outages. Ukrainian forces answered with long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities and ports and intensified mid-range drone and missile operations against Russian logistics and air defenses ahead of a potential spring-summer offensive, while fighting remains concentrated in eastern and southern Ukraine and near Slovyansk.

First-Ever PrSM Strike in Iran Highlights Expanded U.S. Long-Range Capabilities

CENTCOM says the US used Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs) for the first time in its Iran conflict, praising them as enabling deep, precise strikes though launch location and targets remain undisclosed. PrSMs are Lockheed Martin’s long-range GPS-guided missiles (60 km to over 499 km) compatible with HIMARS and M270 launchers, designed to replace ATACMs and able to carry two per pod, with open architecture and an insensitive payload. Their use under Operation Epic Fury expands US long-range strike options near Iran amid broader regional dynamics and debates over range limits from the INF-era framework.
