Brovdi said the intent was “logistics lockdown.”The main effort of the Ukrainian attacks hitting Crimea and the adjacent Russia-occupied territories Kherson and Zaporizhzhia has been carried out by unprecedented numbers of domestically-developed strike drones in the air and on sea, for the most part at ranges 50-300 km (31-186 miles) from probable Ukrainian launch sites. Ukrainian workhorse, pusher-prop FP-2 drone has carried the most weight of explosives, with selected strikes carried out by batwing Begemot drones, a semi-stealth aircraft designed to fly low and stay undetected.
