Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces continue to intensify pressure on russian air defense and logistics, with a new series of coordinated strikes carried out across multiple frontline directions. Over the first half of April, Ukrainian units conducted a wide range of operations targeting high-value assets, including air defense systems, supply hubs, and ammunition depots.
One of the most notable strikes took place on April 10, when drone pilots from the Kairos 9th Battalion russian Tor-M1 air defense system in Mariupol. The same unit also struck the Pantsir-S1 system in Donetsk region, demonstrating a continued focus on degrading russia's layered air defense network.

In addition to targeting air defense systems, Ukrainian forces carried out strikes on rear infrastructure. On the same day, Ukrainian units hit a rear base belonging to formations of russia's Southern Military District in Donetsk region. Such facilities play a critical role in sustaining combat operations, serving as coordination and supply points for frontline units.
Further operations expanded the geographic scope of the campaign. The Raid 413th Regiment reported the destruction of russian logistics hub in Zaporizhzhia region, adding to the growing list of disrupted supply nodes.
Activity also continued in the east of Ukraine. On April 13, drone operators from the 1st Separate Center struck another Tor-M1 system in Luhansk region. Meanwhile, the Phoenix border unit targeted and hit an ammunition depot, further complicating russian resupply efforts.
All of these operations were conducted in coordination with Ukraine's Deep Strike Center, highlighting an increasingly structured approach to long-range targeting.
