## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to conduct additional small- to medium-scale drone sorties against Russian oil, logistics, and possibly aviation infrastructure, though not necessarily around Moscow itself. The recent hits on the Solnechnogorsk pumping station and Angstrem plant suggest a prioritized target set of energy and high-tech defense industry assets. Russian air defenses will remain on high alert around Moscow and major refineries, increasing interception rates but not fully halting successful strikes.

## Drivers

- Multiple recent Ukrainian drone strikes on oil infrastructure and Moscow-region targets
- Emerging trend: ‘Ukraine leverages strike and drone innovation to strategic depth inside Russia’
- EUCOM threat level HIGH with intensified UAV usage by both sides
