Russian "war correspondents" are concerned about Ukrainian drones near Mariupol - ISW

Ukrainian Hornet UAVs are destroying Russian equipment on the Mariupol-Donetsk highway at a depth of 160 km. Russian electronic warfare systems are unable to effectively counter Ukrainian drones.
Russian so-called "war correspondents" are concerned about Ukrainian drones near Mariupol. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Institute for the Study of War.
Details
The report refers to footage of Ukrainian drones operating over the Mariupol-Donetsk highway, near the occupied port city on the Sea of Azov. Ukrainian drones are targeting Russian fuel tankers and other military vehicles.
At the same time, Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems can only jam and shoot down Ukrainian Hornet drones when they are not using Starlink or do not have time to automatically lock onto a target.
Ukraine's ability to strike moving targets in areas previously considered relatively safe for Russian forces appears set to become a point of increasing neuralgia in the Russian ultranationalist information space
As a reminder
Pilots of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov" patrol roads to a depth of 160 km from the line of active combat. Reconnaissance systems patrol Mariupol to destroy military targets.
