VIDEO EXCERPTS: Ukrainians have now deployed enough drones that they can reliably target things like fuel trucks. There is no more fuel coming in. The Russian Navy has long since abandoned Crimea, and everything has to come in by rail, and those rail bridges have now been damaged. Ukrainians are patrolling with dozens of drones at a time over the territory and basically hitting the trucks before they can get anywhere close.
So basically whatever fuel is left is being hoarded by the military. The only reason that the Kerch Strait Bridge remains operational is so that civilians in Crimea can flee to Russia. That's a bridge that connects Russia proper to Crimea, across the Sea of Azov.
[....] What we're looking at here is roughly 2/3 of the territory that the Russians have captured -- since the first war going back to 2014 -- is now becoming a sandbag that the Russians cannot reliably resupply.
[...] There are still a lot of ways where this can go horribly, horribly wrong. But the Russians have yet to come up with a way to counter the Ukrainian memory drones that are capable of selecting their own targets, which makes them unjammable. And now that those are being produced in the hundreds per day, the Russian position across the entire southern parts of the occupied territories is really falling apart.
