## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to attempt follow-on but smaller-scale drone or missile strikes on Russian energy, logistics, or military targets, leveraging momentum and ISR from the record barrage. These may target secondary oil depots, rail fuel trains, or air bases in western Russia and Crimea, but with lower mass due to munitions stockpile constraints. Russian air defenses around Moscow and key hubs will be on high alert, raising intercept rates yet not eliminating all penetrations. Some localized fires or damage are likely but below the scale of the current headline events.

## Drivers

- Recent hits on Moscow refinery, Solnechnogorskaya, Belbek airfield, and Arabat Spit
- Emerging trend of mutual deep-rear UAV warfare as strategic coercion
- Ukrainian signaling about new jet-powered 'Bars' missile-drones reaching Moscow region
