Ukrainian drone units experienced sudden signal failures above 160 km/h on Wednesday morning, disrupting logistics and strikes. This occurred without prior warning from Kyiv, as partners failed to notify them of a simultaneous Russian missile attack on energy facilities. Senior officials described frontline logistics as 'badly limited' due to these technical and intelligence gaps.
Key points
