New operations by Ukrainian troops using UAVs deep behind the occupied territories have caused a wave of alarm in the Russian information space. The activity of interceptor drones in the Mariupol area threatens key Russian logistical routes, which were previously considered relatively safe.

Propagandists feared that such situations would become a natural trend and paralyze the military logistics of Putin’s army near Mariupol, the Institute for the Study of War reports. Russian propagandists have expressed serious concern over the publication of videos showing Ukrainian Hornet drones operating freely over the strategically important T-0509 Mariupol-Donetsk highway. The drones successfully attacked Russian tankers and military transport equipment in the immediate vicinity of occupied Mariupol.

Z-bloggers compare the current situation to the “paralysis” of traffic on the M-30 Horlivka – Donetsk highway, where Ukrainian forces had previously effectively blocked military and civilian logistics. The main factor causing panic among the occupiers was the sharp increase in the range of Ukrainian UAVs. Despite the fact that the front line moved back in 2026, the situation for Russian troops worsened compared to 2024–2025.

Interceptor drones are now capable of hitting targets at distances of up to 200 kilometers. Russian electronic warfare is ineffective if the drone uses satellite communications or goes into automatic target acquisition mode. The occupiers are panicking because within the next 6–12 months, Ukrainian Hornet interceptors will become fully autonomous, which will make them virtually invulnerable to existing suppression systems.

According to experts, the ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to deliver precise strikes on logistical nodes that were previously considered safe creates a partial blockade effect. This not only undermines the supply of the front but also destabilizes the Russian information space. Ukraine’s 1st Corps of the National Guard “Azov” says it has expanded its deep-strike drone operations against Russian military logistics, targeting supply routes leading toward occupied Mariupol with AI-assisted suicide drones. After previously targeting logistics hubs around Donetsk, Ukrainian drone operators are now focusing on roads and transport corridors connected to Mariupol.

“Azov has returned to Mariupol. For now—through a reconnaissance-strike system,” the corps said. According to Azov, drone crews are now patrolling roads at distances reaching up to 160 kilometers from the line of contact. The unit says Russian air defenses have so far struggled to intercept the drones, despite operators maintaining visual contact with targets during attacks. In many cases, Russian drivers allegedly abandoned vehicles after identifying the incoming threat. Azov also emphasized that the drones’ high-resolution video systems allow operators to distinguish military targets from civilian traffic, reducing the risk of accidental strikes. “Azov has returned to its native city and controls it from the sky, methodically destroying enemy logistics deep in the rear,” the corps stated. “There are no longer safe routes for the occupiers.”

Previously, reports emerged that Azov was using Hornet suicide drones equipped with elements of artificial intelligence to target Russian logistics around Donetsk. The Hornet kamikaze drone is an aircraft-type UAV developed and produced by the US company Perennial Autonomy, owned by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The Hornet is designed to strike enemy military equipment and concentrations of personnel at long range. A key feature of this kamikaze drone in its class is the extensive integration of artificial intelligence elements. Its exact flight range is not publicly disclosed, but it is estimated to be over 100 km, while the warhead weight is up to 5 kg.
