Ukrainian forces strike three Russian UAV command-and-control posts

The strike package targets the node that turns cheap reconnaissance drones into a coherent kill chain: command posts, not airframes. For planners, this is evidence that UAV warfare is increasingly a contest over ground-based control, datalink relay and operator survivability rather than platform counts. Expect both sides to harden, disperse and decoy these nodes, and expect counter-C2 targeting to become a standing line item in drone procurement and doctrine, not an occasional deep-strike event.
