Will the Russian mainland become the new main battlefield? The Ukrainian army suddenly showed its fangs and dispatched 1,600 drones to carry out a frenzied bombing of important targets in Russia. In the face of such a fierce attack, the Russian air defense system seems to be losing ground one after another, what can be done?

The drones, like swarms of angry bees, buzzed in the air, gathered together in black and flew like a dark cloud towards targets inside Russia. These drones, with their clear and determined goals, are directed at important Russian facilities - oil refineries and military airfields. These facilities, for Russia, are the backbone of the economy and the military, but at the moment they are the target of attack by the Ukrainian army.
On April 27, the Ukrainian army launched a fierce offensive, launching 68 drones at a time and launching a fierce attack on Russia. These drones, they cut arcs through the air and then rain down on their targets. Although the Russian air defense forces immediately intercepted, they managed to intercept 66 drones, but 2 drones broke through the defense line, and they were like two precision missiles, accurately hitting targets in Crimea.
This drone bombing has dealt a heavy blow to some energy facilities in Russia. Take, for example, a Rosneft depot in the Smolensk region, which used to store large quantities of fuel and oil as an important part of Russia's energy supply. But in this bombing, at least four oil storage tanks were blown up or burned, and those oil storage tanks that once stored a lot of energy turned into a sea of fire, and a large amount of fuel and oil products were reduced to ashes in the fire.
Such a scale of bombing and such a strike are enough to show the determination and strength of the Ukrainian army in this drone attack. And the Russian air defense system also exposed serious vulnerabilities and weaknesses in this attack. This not only raises questions about Russia's air defense capabilities, but also raises concerns about the direction of this conflict.
The Ukrainian army not only attacked energy facilities, but also targeted military airfields inside Russia. Their purpose is obvious, to weaken Russia's combat capabilities on the battlefield in Ukraine. As a result, Russia's energy supply system and military facilities have been severely impacted, and if such blows continue to occur, the pressure on Russia's domestic economy will only grow.
In the face of the onslaught of Ukraine, the Russian army did not sit idly by. They launched 35 cluster missile strikes as a powerful response and retaliation for Ukrainian drone attacks. The Russian army has dispatched a variety of high-precision weapons, including "Dagger" hypersonic missiles, to focus on Ukraine's energy industry facilities, military industrial enterprises and infrastructure. Their aim is to destroy Ukraine's industrial capacity and logistical supply, so that the Ukrainian army is completely incapacitated.
However, the conflict does not seem to show signs of stopping. Ukrainian forces continue to launch offensives in an attempt to bring the war inside Russia, while Russian forces are ramping up their retaliatory attacks in an attempt to completely destroy the Ukrainian army's logistics system. Both sides are escalating the conflict, and the scale and intensity of the violence are increasing.
Russia seems to have abandoned precision targets in favor of a "burn-and-burn policy" to devastate Ukrainian military and civilian facilities. In this way, they seem to want to completely destroy Ukraine's military capabilities. And the Ukrainian army has not shown weakness, and continues to launch fierce drone attacks in an attempt to further lead the war into Russia.
Now, while calls for peace are high, the leaders of both countries are still trying to turn the tide of the war by force. Barring a decisive turn between the two sides, the conflict is likely to continue to escalate and perhaps even more brutal.
The Ukrainian-Russian conflict has entered a new vicious circle, and the pace of escalation of violence is accelerating. Russia will have to pay more and more attention to the domestic front, while Ukraine is trying to direct the flames of war into Russia. If this conflict is not contained in time, its repercussions may extend far beyond the region. Maintaining peace is the primary issue that both sides should consider.
