Russian forces carried out a combined attack on Ukrainian targets during the night and morning of November 13, using jet-powered UAVs, ballistic missiles and small cruise missiles.
The average volume of attacks remains stable, which indicates a systematic preparation for the winter and the accumulation of reserves. The current operations keep the Ukrainian AD in constant tension while systematically destroying logistics hubs. Intensity is deliberately limited to conserve ammunition reserves rather than burn them at record rates.
As cold weather increases the load on the energy grid, each penetrating munition causes significantly greater systemic damage. The constant rate of spending indicates that much of the missile and UAV production is being stored for massive load strikes during the peak of winter.
