EXPOSED: Inside the ​masterclass ​siege ​trapping Putin’s ​crown ​jewel | Battle Plans

Military expert and former intelligence planner Philip Ingram exposes how Kyiv is bypassing the tactical frontlines to systematically starve Vladimir Putin’s war machine of fuel, ammunition and armour. In this episode, we break down the precision strike on the vital Chonhar Bridge - the primary logistics artery feeding Russian forces - and look at the historical context of why cutting off these narrow land bottlenecks spells disaster for the Kremlin. Further north, a spectacular inside job and a daring 1,000km drone swarm have targeted Russia’s prestigious Kronstadt naval base, systematically deleting the naval escorts protecting Putin's illicit shadow fleet of oil tankers. Ukraine has completely transformed the dynamics of the war, seizing the strategic initiative through a relentless, multi-layered 'deep battle' campaign. Plus, we look at the desperate, century-old battlefield adaptations Moscow is reviving to trick the AI optical sensors on Ukraine’s rapidly advancing drone arsenal. From placing air defence missile batteries on civilian high-rise roofs to painting supply trucks with World War One dazzle camouflage, we reveal why the Kremlin is terrified as the war truly comes home for everyday Russians.
