This July 14 attack brought the number of Russian vessels hit in the Sea of Azov to 116 in a week-long campaign, according to Ukraine’s drone forces.
These intense strikes on a maritime trade route – equivalent to one every two hours – have effectively halted traffic on a key supply line, in a campaign with few parallels in the history of modern warfare.
“The shadow fleet is wasting away,” said Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, the commander of Ukraine’s drone forces, in a post updating the operation’s “score-card” on the morning of July 15.
By cutting off supplies of fuel to Crimea, where residents already face prolonged power cuts and a ban on purchases of petrol, Major Brovdi hopes to spark the eventual collapse of the Russian empire.

Excellent article thanks!
I found particularly interesting
At sea, the aircraft fly just above the waterline to avoid detection
by radar. When they attack, they target the ships’ steering and
communication systems, housed in the bridge, aiming to disable, not
sink, the vessels.
This has forced Moscow to send out tugboats to
rescue “ghost ships” drifting at sea, providing Ukraine with fresh
targets and adding to the logistical burdens faced by Putin’s army.
I never thought about that strategy. A bit like when snipers wounded rather than killed to draw rescuers in to provide fresh targets.
