ISW: Strategic strikes on Russian arsenals could change the course of the war in Ukraine.

Strikes by Ukraine on military targets in Russia could have a significant impact on the course of combat operations

Experts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) analyzed the possible impact of Ukrainian strikes on military targets located in Russia.

They concluded that such tactics could significantly alter the course of the war in Ukraine, if the Ukrainian Armed Forces have the necessary resources to continue such operations.

According to ISW, the Russian army daily uses about 10,000 artillery shells on the front line and actively employs 'Shahed' drones for attacks on Ukrainian cities.

September and October were the months when Ukrainian forces struck important ammunition depots in the Tver, Bryansk, and Krasnodar regions of Russia.

'While a single strike is unlikely to have a major impact on Russia's military efforts, repeated strikes on ammunition depots in Russia will force the Russian command to reconsider their plans and the location of logistical systems. This step will allow mitigating the consequences of strikes by optimizing logistics to support the war in Ukraine.'

ISW experts believe that the presence of Western weapon systems would allow Ukraine to more effectively exploit the weaknesses of Russian logistics.

At the same Time, the Institute emphasizes that significant influence on the course of the war requires corresponding material resources, capabilities, and authorization to conduct such operations.
