🔒 CRIMEA "LOGISTICS LOCKDOWN" — THE ISOLATION CAMPAIGN
Launched late May 2026 by Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces (commander Robert Brovdi), this is a named campaign, not scattered strikes — the explicit goal is severing both Russian supply routes into Crimea using "Middle Strike" class drones (~200km range).

N. Crimean Canal rail bridge, Jun 23
Two routes, both under fire — the land corridor (Donetsk/Zaporizhzhia/Kherson rail and road junctions) and the Kerch Bridge/ferry crossing. Jun 21: simultaneous strikes hit the Kerch fuel terminal and Russia's Port Kavkaz on the opposite shore, plus the ferry Panagia — Kerch-Kavkaz ferry service was suspended. Jun 23: the North Crimean Canal rail bridge was destroyed outright, the first bridge eliminated in the campaign.
Forcing a real defensive tradeoff — Zelensky confirmed Russia relocated hundreds of S-400/S-500/Pantsir launchers to defend Moscow and the Kerch Bridge specifically, thinning air defense everywhere else: "in all other regions of Russia, there are only a few launchers each."
Consequences on the ground — Sevastopol fuel rationed to 20L/week for private buyers; Yevpatoriia lost power Jul 10; Voda Kryma reports partial water-supply loss tied to grid damage. Full Azov strike detail: Strike Log tab.
