Russian forces are rapidly constructing a series of new launch sites for long-range drone strikes, potentially targeting western Ukraine, according to a recent report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). According to satellite imagery, Russia has built 59 new drone launch platforms at ten different bases along its borders with Ukraine and Belarus, each capable of housing over 1,000 drones.
American analysts suggest these developments may signal Russia's intention to intensify attacks against Ukraine, including possible strikes on the western regions of the country. ISW analysts also speculate that some of these facilities could eventually be used to launch attacks against NATO nations. The expansion of Russia's drone infrastructure comes as the conflict in Ukraine continues and Russia develops its capabilities for conducting large-scale drone attacks.
