Huge convoys burning! Ukrainian operation "Ghost Rider" PARALYZES entire Russian Donbas logistics

Ukraine’s "middle strike" interdiction campaign in Donbas systematically targets Russian rear-echelon logistics columns and ammunition infrastructure tens of kilometers behind the contact line. By pairing suppressive strikes against close-protection air defense assets like the Osa with terminal AI-guided strike drones, Ukrainian forces consistently bypass Russian electronic warfare bubbles to destroy soft-skinned transport, armor haulers, and maintenance equipment. This precision attrition of supply trucks directly starves frontline echelons of munitions and vehicle fuel, suppressing mechanized assault capability before armored elements can reach assault staging areas. Crucially, diesel fuel deficits paralyze the localized generators required to charge Russian tactical reconnaissance drones, creating defensive surveillance blind spots that expose ground units to counteraction. As routing detours and escort commitments exponentially inflate sustainment overhead, Russia’s reliance on extended ground lines of communication becomes a systemic vulnerability that continually depresses offensive operational tempo.
