Ukraine Expands Deep-Strike Campaign on Russian Rear Logistics After Moscow Missile Test
Theater: Russia (Moscow region, logistics corridors)
Time horizon: 7d
Published: 2026-07-01
Moderate confidence (70%)
Risk direction: escalatory · Impact: HIGH
Executive summary
Over the next seven days, Ukraine is likely to intensify drone and missile operations against Russian logistics hubs, fuel depots, and rail nodes deeper inside Russia, using the apparent FP-9 test as a proof-of-concept for extended reach. This will force Russia to divert additional air defense assets away from front-line support and further militarize energy and transport corridors within its own territory. In turn, Russia will respond with more systematic strikes on Ukrainian energy and fuel infrastructure, deepening the war’s strategic-range character and raising collateral risks to neighboring states through debris and accidental border overflight. Confirmation would be multiple reported attacks well beyond usual ranges and Russian redeployment of S-300/400…
