The Ukrainian conflict is increasingly taking the form of drone warfare. Used on the Russian side as well as the Ukrainian side, this weapon revived the conflict, while the front line had been frozen for several months.
Russian drones taking off for Ukrainian skies. The image made headlines on Russian television, Thursday, May 4. She pretends they were aiming infrastructures. According to the Ukrainians, they were actually targeting the capital, kyiv (Ukraine), where the drones were intercepted, and Odessa, in the south of the country. Almost at the same time, a Russian refinery catches fire. Again, this would be an attack from an enemy drone. Thursday evening, the governor of Sevastopol writes on his Telegram account that a drone would have been eliminated in Crimea near an airport.
An imminent Ukrainian counter-offensive?
More than ever, the conflict is primarily a drone war. For months, the front line had been frozen, but it is coming back to life and the toll of the war is getting heavier. Wednesday saw scenes of panic at the train station and in a supermarket in Kherson, southern Ukraine, during artillery fire. According to the Ukrainians, 21 people lost their lives, 46 were injured. The Russians made no official comment. With this rise in tensions, the two armies are forced to train their soldiers in an emergency. A Ukrainian counter-offensive should be imminent, but on their way they will find the fortifications built by the Russians. They would reach 800 kilometers long, according to estimates.
