Ukrainian drones strike 1,100 kilometers deep into Russian territory | DW News
Ukraine says Russia launched 17 attack drones and several missiles targeting the south of the country overnight. Officials say air defenses were able to down 14 of the drones and two guided air missiles. But Russia is not the only party in this conflict heavily relying on drone warfare. Ukraine is increasingly using domestically produced drones to strike back at Russia deep inside its own borders. On Tuesday Ukrainian drones hit the central Tatarstan region, around 1,100 kilometers from the countries’ shared border, in one of the deepest Ukrainian attacks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion two years ago. Kyiv said the attack hit a major oil refinery and a drone assembly factory. While it’s proving to be an important advantage for Ukraine, the development is causing concern, not only in Moscow. The US says they don’t support nor enable Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. How serious a threat are Ukrainian drone attacks to Russia? And can they help overcome Ukraine’s disadvantage on the battlefield? #Ukraine #Russia #Drones Credit to : DW News
