There was an explosion in Moscow Oblast, and the Russian army rushed out
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, on the evening of March 2, local time, there was an explosion in the Kolomna area of the Russian capital Moscow region, and the staff of the Russian emergency department had gone to the place of the incident.
RIA Novosti reported that emergency department staff have gone to the scene of the incident". The Kolomna regional government also said that people in some rural areas of Kolomna heard the explosion. There is news that it was Ukrainian drones that launched the night raid.
It is reported that in recent days, the Ukrainian army has launched air strikes on several regions such as Moscow, Belgerod and Bryansk regions. During the operation, the Ukrainian army dispatched UJ-22 UAVs loaded with British-made bombs and steel nails to avoid the Russian air defense circle at ultra-low altitude and speed. Attacked a gas station in Kolomna, Moss, 550 kilometers from the border area.
Although the attack was unsuccessful, it has shown that the Ukrainian army has the ability to attack Moscow and nearby targets from a long distance. In 24 hours, Ukrainian drones launched air strikes in areas including Moscow and the Bryansk region, the Republic of Adygea, the Krasnodar Territory and the Belgorod region.
But from the perspective of the entire air strike, the advantages of the Ukrainian UAV are that it has a strong penetration ability, a strong ultra-low altitude concealment ability, and can approach the target after flying hundreds of kilometers.
But the Ukrainian UAV also exposed a flaw, that is, there was a flaw in the final search and positioning of the target. After the Ukrainian UAV has flown hundreds of kilometers, it is often unable to accurately locate the target in the last few hundred meters. It is estimated that there is a problem with the accuracy of guidance, or it is jammed by the Russian army's electronic warfare.
However, it can be predicted that the United States and NATO bloc will continue to improve the Ukrainian army's long-range UAV precision attack capabilities. By summer, the Ukrainian army will launch a larger attack, and Russia needs to be prepared to intercept ultra-low altitude targets throughout the Russian border area.

Why was Vanag able to defeat 10 regular brigades of the Ukrainian army?
From this Russian-Ukrainian war, we found that Russia is trying a privatization armed construction, and even the United States and other Western countries are carrying out a privatization armed attempt.
The American Blackwater Mercenary Company is still only a military auxiliary company, mainly engaged in security, VIP protection, base logistics and supply transportation. However, the Russian Wagner group has developed into a regular military force.
The Wagner Group invested 50,000 troops in the battlefield and was also equipped with heavy weapons such as Su-24 fighter-bombers, Su-25 attack aircraft, T-90 tanks and artillery. It has the ability to fight on the battlefield and even defeat 10 field brigades of the Ukrainian army.
The Wagner Group is a gray glove for Russia, and Putin will send Wagner mercenaries when it is inconvenient for the Russian army to come forward.
Bloomberg reports that Russian Wagner serves at least 12 African countries. Of course, the services of Russian mercenaries are not free, and these African countries will give some mine development rights and road construction rights to Russian mining companies and construction engineering companies as compensation.
This has developed many overseas assets for Russian companies, while also providing military protection against the sudden upheaval in the country that will wipe out investments. The Wagner mercenary group protects Russian investments abroad in Africa and the Middle East in the name of private forces. No matter how volatile the situation on the ground, it will not let Russia's investment go to waste.
At the same time, in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Wagner group is all mercenaries, all outlaws, not conscripts. Therefore, the Wagner Group fought head-on despite losses, greatly reducing the losses of the regular Russian army and reducing public opinion in Russia. After all, the Wagner Group is an army of outlaws and private bosses, and the people do not care whether they are dead or alive, on the contrary, if the regular Russian army continues to suffer a large number of casualties, then public opinion inside and outside Russia will attack Putin.
Moreover, the Wagner Group, including Blackwater of the United States, is corporatized and can be recruited from all over the world. The Wagner Group recruited poor men with military experience in regions such as Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
In fact, this also shows that it is very important for a big country to have an armed group that can safeguard its national interests overseas. When it is not convenient for regular military forces to come forward, gray gloves are dispatched.
Judging from the entire Russian-Ukrainian war, now Russia has eased up, the Ukrainian army is indeed very struggling, but there is no end in sight to the war. In February, Putin was in Moscow, Biden in Warsaw. They all vowed that the war would not end.
