This strategy has led to substantial setbacks for Russia's military, including damage to airbases, munitions storage facilities, and fuel reserves.
The Caucasus, specifically the North Caucasus region, experienced numerous Ukrainian drone attacks as a result of Russia's jammed air defenses. Ukraine reportedly targeted a military airbase named Chanskaya, located near a town, in their offensive against Moscow's invasion.
