Ukrainian drones have targeted Moscow for the second night in a row, forcing temporary airport closures as the Russian capital prepares for a major military parade marking the end of the second world war that is expected to draw world leaders.
The consecutive attacks came before the annual 9 May victory parade, which this year commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union and its allies’ victory over Nazi Germany.
Vladimir Putin tried to call a three-day ceasefire for the 8-10 May anniversary; however, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, characterised the idea as self-serving and pointless unless it lasted 30 days in line with a US proposal that the Russian president has ignored.
You can’t fly cheap drones that far from the front. Only way to go cheap is to use infiltrators on the ground near the airports. And that’s only cheap on hardware, not lives.
They’ve struck hundreds of kilometers into Russian territory with fixed wing drones that I believe were domestically made. Certainly not as cheap as quads, but still very cheap as far as long range munitions go.
They have drone carrier drones now.
Better build some scourge to counter.
