Ukraine’s Azov/NGU describes a coordinated “mid-range strike campaign” using modified fixed-wing kamikaze drones with AI-assisted target identification and Starlink-enabled communications to hunt logistics targets far behind the front. The novelty is combining relatively cheap tactical-class airframes with comms/propulsion upgrades and AI-supported “hunting mode” to sustain deep interdiction (roads/rail) out to ~250km without moving to expensive cruise-missile-class systems.
