From 600 km to nearly 3,000 km: the evolution of Ukraine’s deep-strike reach, 2022–2026
AFU StratCom and Ukraine’s official ukraine.ua account published this animated map tracing the development of Ukraine’s deep-strike capability.
It shows five annual milestones: Engels-2 Air Base in 2022, the Redkino Experimental Plant in 2023, Olenya Air Base in 2024, the Orenburg Gas Plant in 2025, and the Omsk Refinery in 2026.
In four years, Ukraine has expanded its demonstrated reach from roughly 600 km to nearly 3,000 km flown — bringing the war back to the aggressor and targeting the infrastructure that sustains Russia’s war machine.

CNN showed empty Ukrainian Patriot systems near Kyiv — a direct consequence of Trump’s weak international policies since taking office.
As Europe takes on an increasingly larger role in financing and providing weapons for Ukraine’s defence, while still relying on US-made systems like Patriot, Europe should step up its support for the FREYJA programme and accelerate its development. Europe needs its own independent, next-generation air-defence capability.

Reports indicate that two of Russia’s three Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates — Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov — were damaged during the large-scale Ukrainian drone and missile attack on the Novorossiysk naval base overnight on 12 August
• Admiral Essen — Project 11356R frigate and Kalibr cruise-missile carrier; it had already sustained damage during several Ukrainian attacks on Novorossiysk earlier in 2026.
• Admiral Makarov — Project 11356R frigate and Black Sea Fleet flagship; previously struck during the 6 April attack on Novorossiysk.
• Both ships belong to the same three-ship Admiral Grigorovich class and are equipped with eight-cell UKSK vertical launch systems capable of firing Kalibr cruise missiles.
• The third ship of the class, Admiral Grigorovich, was not one of the two frigates identified as damaged in the latest reports.
• The precise nature and severity of the new damage have not yet been independently confirmed.
• If both frigates are temporarily out of operational service, it would further reduce the Black Sea Fleet’s available surface-launched Kalibr capacity.
