Crimea supply highway turns into 'highway of death' due to Ukrainian drones
Driving a military truck from Rostov to Crimea used to be a standard job for Russian occupiers. Now, thanks to Ukrainian drone pilots, it’s basically an extreme sport with a near-zero survival rate.
The R-280 highway, connecting Russian Rostov-on-Don with occupied Crimea, has officially earned a terrifying new nickname: the 'highway of death.' This road is the main artery for supplying the Russian army in the south, but lately, it has become a giant shooting gallery.
Ukrainian FPV drones have completely taken over the airspace above the asphalt. According to reports from The Guardian, they are hunting literally everything that moves: supply trucks, fuel tankers, and military vans. Russian drivers are reportedly terrified of this route, but they don't have many other options.
The sky over this critical supply line is now entirely controlled by Ukrainian drones, leaving the occupiers with a grim choice: risk the fiery ride or leave their front line without ammo and food.
Driving with a constant buzz in the ears is the new normal for Russian logistics.
