Ukraine Drone Strike Deep in Siberia, Russia - Jason Jay Smart [View all]



A Ukrainian drone strike just hit 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) into Siberia, disabling a key Russian gas pipeline that fuels missile factories. The strike stopped 4 million cubic meters of gas—inflicting over $1.3 million USD in immediate losses and disrupting Russia’s war logistics.

That same night, the chemical plant in Belgorod was engulfed in flames—highlighting a wave of confirmed Ukrainian drone attacks deep inside Russia.

Meanwhile, over Kyiv, Ukraine’s Clear Sky interceptor system intercepted 60+ Russian Shahed drones in one engagement. With a $6.2 million USD defense investment, Kyiv’s AI-powered turrets and autonomous UAVs have now shot down 550+ drones, neutralizing Russia’s aerial advantage.

This is not chaos—it’s a calculated drone doctrine: Intercept. Disrupt. Strike Deep. Ukraine is showing how swift innovation, multidomain tactics, and precision warfare can dismantle even the largest armies.
