We are also seeing a growing use of modified Yak-B 12.7 gatling gun for air-defense purposes.

"Russia launched a massive overnight attack against Ukraine, striking Kyiv, Dnipro, and other cities with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, including a significant number of difficult-to-intercept ballistic missiles. The attacks caused civilian casualties, damaged residential areas, and left parts of Kyiv covered in smoke. At the same time, Ukraine continued long-range strikes against Russian infrastructure and military targets, including oil facilities and other strategic sites. On the battlefield, Russian losses remained extraordinarily high, contributing to record seven-day averages for casualties, vehicle losses, and equipment attrition. In this video, we examine the overnight attacks, Ukraine's response, the latest battlefield statistics, and what these trends may indicate about the current phase of the war." - Professor Gerdes.

President Zelensky released a video of today's Ukrainian strikes against a major Russian oil terminal in St. Petersburg. Zelensky described the attack as “Ukrainian sanctions against Russian oil,” highlighting the fact that the drones traveled 1,100 km through Russian airspace to reach their targets.
These long-range Ukrainian strikes against Russian infrastructure vital to Putin's war effort, often crossing hundreds of kilometers of Russian airspace, are becoming increasingly frequent.

On the opening day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Ukraine struck one of Russia's largest oil terminals in the city. It was Ukraine's response—targeting infrastructure used by Putin to finance his invasion—to Russian attacks that killed 22 Ukrainian civilians yesterday, including two children.
Ukrainian AN-196 "Lyuty" and FP-2 kamikaze drones struck the Petersburg Oil Terminal oil terminal in St. Petersburg. The strikes were recorded by local residents from various angles. According to media reports, the Ukrainian drones came from the Gulf of Finland, presumably from the Baltic states. It's worth noting that it's impossible to protect all Russian facilities; there aren't enough air defense installations or troops to operate them. One solution is to create a layered air defense belt around Ukraine, but it hasn't been implemented.

Saint Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest economic and industrial hub, home to some of the country’s largest and most important oil export terminals, completely without air defenses. Here we see a Russian soldier firing his rifle at a Ukrainian drone that traveled 1,100 km through Russian airspace to reach its target. Those shots, and that dog barking in the background, have exactly the same effect on the drone.
Ukrainian media outlets have published footage of Ukrainian FP-2 kamikaze drones striking the corvette Boykiy of the Russian Baltic Fleet. The corvette, a Project 20380, was undergoing scheduled maintenance in Kronstadt, near St. Petersburg. Judging by the video, the ship was attacked by several drones, resulting in a fire.

Jay in Kyiv (@jayinkyiv) on Threads
Ignoring new laws that give out harsh prison terms for posting evidence of Ukraine's strikes on energy infrastructure, St Petersburg residents just can't get enough.

I'm surprised by your narrative. Usually, your news agencies claim an oil refinery is damaged by shot down drones, their remains, or something like this.
Additional footage of Russian Kh-101 cruise missile strikes in Kyiv on June 2. The video was filmed by local residents. Some speculate that these are hypersonic Tsirkon missiles, but they typically fly on a semi-ballistic or ballistic trajectory. The Kh-101 missile has a range of up to 5,500 km and a 400 kg warhead.

Buddy you were already told the ultimate solution, as a matter of fact, precisely a year ago
You could even make some ramps and use the trucks themselves to combat the drone problem, like this

"Ukraine launched roughly 310 drones into Russia overnight, striking targets around St. Petersburg just as Putin's flagship economic forum was opening. The attacks hit the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal, the Kronstadt area where the Baltic Fleet corvette Boyki was in dry dock, the Progress plant tied to aviation and missile control systems, and other Russian oil infrastructure. The timing turned the forum into a public embarrassment: smoke was visible near the venue, air travel over St. Petersburg was suspended, residents filmed the strikes despite harsh new laws, and Russian commentators admitted Ukraine was landing blows against both real targets and the government's image.

"Dear friends and family, this year the russian economic forum in St. Petersburg is truly a BLAST! The good Ukrainian drones decided the event was too boring and brought some action - straight from the Ukrainian people! "

"One Russian billboard encourages men to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, promising money, status, and opportunity. But right next to it – an advert for a funeral director. While likely accidental, the contrasting billboards highlight the broader reality faced by Russia after years at war. As military recruitment campaigns intensify across the country, casualty figures continue to mount, and more families are forced to confront the human cost of the war. In the new episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński takes a closer look at the viral video and how a simple billboard ended up exposing a reality that Russian officials and propagandists prefer not to discuss.
