Russia and Ukraine sharply increased long-range strike operations in March, with both sides expanding drone and missile attacks deep beyond the front lines, according to a new assessment provided by ACLED senior analyst Witold Stupnicki.
The data points to a sustained rise in strike intensity, highlighted by what ACLED described as a record 948-drone Russian attack carried out over March 23–24 and a parallel increase in Ukrainian strikes targeting critical infrastructure inside Russia.
The latest figures suggest that the war’s long-range strike campaign is entering a new phase, with operational pressure no longer confined to frontline positions. ACLED said Russia recorded more than 3,000 strikes in March, up from 2,712 in February, while Ukrainian strikes across Russian territory exceeded 1,400 during the same month, spanning 27 regions. That upward trend, according to the assessment, reflects a deliberate escalation rather than an isolated spike in activity.
