Drone attacks expose Russia's vulnerability | DW News

A drone attack targeted on Tuesday a Russian airfield in the border Kursk region. The attack comes one day after attacks on two military airfields deep inside Russian territory which killed three soldiers and injured four others. Russia blamed Ukraine for the attack on the Dyagilevo airfield in the Ryazan region and the Engels airfield in the Saratov region.

Ukraine did not claim responsibility for the attacks, but if Russia's accusations are true, it would be the deepest Ukrainian attack inside Russia since the war started on February 24.

The Saratov region is at least 600 km (370 miles) from the nearest Ukrainian border. Many commentators and analysts have suggested that this would mean the Ukrainian forces are capable of hitting Moscow.

Imagine starting a war and then being upset when the other side attacks you.

Accusing Ukraine of acts of terror is the biggest joke yet.

[danielcaceres]

It is not an attack, it is a special military mission.

A German once flew his small plane to Moscow and landed it on Red Square. Nobody intercepted the plane during the 2000 km flight. It was bigger than an attack drone.

It's like an abusive husband beating his wife, telling her it's her fault for giving him no choice but violence, then calling the police when she hits him back. Cowards.

“Acts of Terrorism” this attack had no civilian causalities only military ones.

[Miamcoline]

Excellent discussions and analysis as always!

[Xollob]

Reminds me of the abusive wife who calls the police when the husband hits her back. Always the victim

Ukraine is just kindly returning the missiles which Russia carelessly misplaced in Ukraine. It's just a special missile return operation. Kind of like returning a library book really.

This was not attack on ruzzia. It was special operation to denazificate ruzzian bombers. Need to see more of these ops.

Go Ukraine godspeed and strength to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and God bless 🙌 🙏

Even a child at first grade in the school, who play baseball, or Soccer, realizes there is an opponent who expect a counter offensive from.

[michaelmurphy]

"Cross border attacks against strategic targets" WELL PHRASED! Everyone accusing Ukraine of 'escalation' for taking out the very bombers murdering grandmothers in their beds and children at play should be ashamed.

[caesaralakiba]

"Russia is calling it act of terrorism" this is really getting funny now😂😂😃😃💔, you decide to attack a sovereign nation and you are not a terrorist, but that same country respond and you are calling it terrorism.

[TURBO]

Russia calling attacks on a Russian airforce base "acts of terrorism".... biggest joke yet. 🙄

[The_Spartan_Legend]

11:06 - I knew it! I even called it, lol! I specifically said "enjoy your liberated region while it lasts, which won't be long" lmao.

[Platinumsniper]

For Putler to call those strikes "acts of terrorism" after the terrorist attack they've been doing for It's priceless.

[kayskreed]

When the big bully runs to the teacher, in tears, because the kid he bullied hit him back.

[stopato]

It is like a boxing match and Ukrainian hands are tied, behind her back. When she gets one finger loose and plants a soft hit on the Russian he screams 'terriorist.'
Such a coward are the Gremlins and Pootini.
