Ukraine struck 9 more tankers of Russia's "shadow fleet" in the Sea of Azov

The Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue the systematic destruction of Russia's maritime logistics. On the night of July 8, Ukrainian military struck another nine tankers of the Russian "shadow fleet" in the Sea of Azov. In total, over the past 72 hours, 21 vessels have been hit. The operation video, published by the commander of the SBS Robert "Madjar" Brovdi, shows a signature element of the strike systems of the Ukrainian company Fire Point, reports UNN.

As reported by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the operation was carried out by pilots of the "Kairos" units of the 414th separate SBS brigade "Madjar's Birds", the 413th separate SBS regiment "Raid", and the 1st separate SBS center. All strikes were coordinated by the newly created Deep Strike Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces.

In addition to maritime targets, strikes on the enemy's military infrastructure in the temporarily occupied territories also continued.

"During the night, in the operational depth of the occupier in Crimea and the southern part of the TOT, the SBS Birds struck 53 military targets. In the pool 'Crimean Switch OFF' during the night, +6 electrical substations were worked on (a total of exactly 50 power nodes during July 1–8) and other sensitive objects," the SBS commander noted.

Reminder

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine will increase the production of drones, missiles, electronic warfare systems, and other weapons. To this end, the President instructed the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intensify work with partners to attract additional investments in the Ukrainian defense industry.

The President noted that the implementation of the Ukrainian long-range strike program is already demonstrating effectiveness, as it limits Russia's ability to wage war and returns it directly to the territory of the aggressor state.
