Ukraine finds a 30-km hole in Russian defenses... strikes St Petersburg

What the site found

Not propaganda · agenda: Ukraine drones Russia via Baltics

Belief the Pravda network pushes: Ukraine is launching massive drone attacks on Russian energy and civilian infrastructure, often from the Baltic states, while Russia only strikes Ukrainian military targets

A pro-Ukrainian military analysis claims Ukraine hit radars, a missile ship and oil export sites near St. Petersburg, using Starlink coverage near the border to steer its drones precisely.

The video says · at 1:44 · quote checked against the transcript
“it is highly likely that Ukrainians were able to coast off of this connection to maintain complete control of their drones and guide them to their targets with unmatched precision.”
it is highly likely that Ukrainians were able to coast off of this connection to maintain complete control of their drones and guide them to their targets with unmatched precision.

The video does not claim the Baltic states launched or allowed the attacks, only speculates about satellite connectivity, and it describes military targets as well as oil facilities. It does not repeat the Pravda slant that Ukraine hits civilian sites from Baltic territory, so it is battlefield commentary and not this agenda.

0:00 Today, the biggest news is coming from
0:01 St. Petersburg city. Here, newly found
0:04 accuracy in Ukrainian strikes is going
0:07 to force Putin to abandon his country's
0:09 second capital in the north as its air
0:11 defenses are coming under the same
0:13 intensity of strikes as Russian systems
0:15 on the front line itself.
0:18 Notably, during Ukraine's last strike on
0:20 St. Petersburg and Usluga oil export
0:23 facilities on the coast, a significant
0:25 number of other targets had been struck
0:27 as well. In addition to the oil
0:29 terminals and storage tanks, a Russian
0:32 missile ship was damaged by direct
0:33 strike as well as two Russian
0:35 helicopters and a MiG31 jet fighter
0:38 being downed by friendly fire.
0:41 Perhaps most crucial, however,
0:43 Ukrainians destroyed three of the
0:44 largest radar complexes around the city.
0:47 Very quickly, military analysts noted
0:50 how the damage on this radar stations
0:52 was so precise, it could have only been
0:54 achieved by a drone controlled in real
0:56 time. Longrange Ukrainian drone strikes
0:59 are almost always done through
1:01 pre-programmed flight paths with the
1:03 path being able to be broadly modified
1:05 from controllers in Ukraine.
1:08 Realtime adjustment, however, means that
1:10 the Ukrainian operators controlling the
1:12 drone are watching a live video feed and
1:15 directly steering the drone onto a
1:17 target, allowing them to be much more
1:19 precise.
1:20 Ukraine does not have access to this
1:22 kind of uninterrupted communication at
1:24 distances over a thousand kilometers
1:26 from Ukraine.
1:28 A big explanation for how this strike
1:30 was still conducted is that Sterling's
1:32 coverage is not blocked to the exact
1:34 administrative Russian border, often
1:37 extending up to 30 or more kilometers
1:39 inland. As Finland, Estonia, and even
1:42 the Baltic Sea itself experienced full
1:44 stalling connectivity, it is highly
1:47 likely that Ukrainians were able to
1:48 coast off of this connection to maintain
1:51 complete control of their drones and
1:53 guide them to their targets with
1:55 unmatched precision.
1:57 This means that Ukraine has just found a
1:59 loophole to make even their deep rear
2:01 strikes as accurate as their frontline
2:03 and mid-range strikes. The implications
2:07 of this are immense. Due to the accuracy
2:10 of Ukrainian strikes in the frontline
2:11 area, Russia has lost over 1,700 air
2:15 defense systems throughout the war.
2:18 September saw an especially notable
2:20 number of 86 confirmed destructions in a
2:23 single month. This is why Russia often
2:26 maintains an extremely dispersed stance
2:28 and moved many of its strongest systems
2:30 further back to prevent losses from
2:32 becoming too unbearable.
2:35 Now that Ukrainians are effectively able
2:37 to expand this level of precision all
2:39 along the Russian border and coastline,
2:41 Russians are faced with an extreme
2:43 problem. Now Ukrainians do not need to
2:46 saturate and overwhelm Russian air
2:48 defenses in these areas through massive
2:50 numbers, but they can simply engage
2:53 these defenses outright and force open a
2:56 gap for follow-up strikes to make it
2:58 through. In this case, Russian export
3:00 hubs in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad
3:03 coastline were only the beginning. A
3:05 test to see if it would work. In the
3:08 future, we could see Ukrainians
3:09 capitalizing on this method to strike
3:11 major air and military bases in Voresh,
3:14 Belgarot, Kursk, Rosto, or even Kadar,
3:17 destroying the air defenses meant to
3:19 protect their approaches to these
3:21 critical military assets. In turn, as
3:24 these pricey systems become more of a
3:26 target, Russians will be forced once
3:28 again to move their air defenses away.
3:31 this time not just away from Ukraine
3:33 itself, but from the entire Russian
3:35 border area, lest they become
3:37 irreplaceable losses very soon.
3:40 Essentially, this will result in
3:42 Russians being forced to fight Ukrainian
3:43 drones and protect their most valuable
3:46 military and economic assets from a
3:48 distance, greatly reducing their
3:50 efficiency and enhancing the impact of
3:52 Ukrainian deep strikes.
