"Overnight 06-07 March, Russia conducted its largest multi-axis Long Range Aviation (LRA) strike package of 2025. Alongside up to 35 As-23a KODIAK (X-101) Air Launched Cruise Missiles, Russia also launched Land Attack Cruise Missiles from Black Sea Fleet vessels alongside Short Range Ballistic Missiles and more than 100 One Way Attack UAVs, all of which serve to complicate and saturate Ukrainian Air Defence efforts," reports British intelligence.
British intelligence reports that Russia continues to strike a number of targets, including the Ukrainian energy sector, primarily targeting gas infrastructure, seeking to use the winter period to demoralize the civilian population and weaken the Ukrainian economy.
"KODIAK (X-101) remains the pace setter for Russian large scale strike packages, with a number of lower-intensity strikes this year allowing a slow replenishment in the stocks of Russia's premier precision guided munition. Rebuilding its stockpile enables LRA to sit ready to conduct strikes such as these with little to no notice, at a time of Russia's choosing," the report states.
