Ukrainian drone strikes have forced Russia to completely halt shipping in the Sea of Azov in less than a week\u2014showing once again how a country without traditional naval power can still effectively blockade maritime corridors.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Unmanned Systems Forces have flown one-way attack drones to target and strike more than 100 Russian tankers and other ships every night between July 6 and July 13, along with posting video evidence<\/a> showing such drone strikes. The campaign has forced Russia to completely shut down the shipping route that flows from Russia\u2019s Don River into the Sea of Azov, and to halt all Kerch Strait shipping transits from the Sea of Azov into the Black Sea, according to Reuters reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The shutdown of such maritime lanes has further isolated the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula by cutting off seaborne delivery of fuel in particular. Crimea had already been experiencing severe fuel rationing and power outages as Ukraine stepped up its mid- and long-range drone strike campaign on Russian energy infrastructure and supply lines, leaving behind damaged oil refineries with billowing black smoke<\/a> and burned-out trucks<\/a> littering highways.<\/p>\n
