Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces struck 38 energy hubs across Russia and occupied territory as part of what commander Robert 'Madyar' Brovdi calls Operation Crimean Switch Off, bringing the two-and-a-half-month operation's total to 412 targets hit, he says. The latest ten-day count breaks down to ten in Crimea, nine in occupied Donetsk, thirteen in occupied Luhansk, four in Russia proper, and one each in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

A separate defense contractor, Fire Point, says its FP-2 drones hit more than 100 targets in Crimea over three months, about half of them critical infrastructure, and claims the damage has forced Russian troops onto fuel-hungry generators. Brovdi also credits a different operation, MoLoChKa, with blocking Russian shadow-fleet movement in the Sea of Azov and Kerch Strait since July.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

When the people counting the hits are the same people who fired the shots, the number tends to look flattering. That doesn't make the strikes fake, it just means a body count from the attacker's own channel deserves the same shrug you'd give a fisherman's tape measure. Somebody independent ought to eyeball those generators before we call the lights out for good.
