Regarding Ukrainian drones, Putin is telling the truth
Drones have gradually become the most important role on the battlefield, and even began to change the battlefield situation on some battlefields. UAVs are becoming a key factor in determining the outcome and direction of the war on the local battlefield, and their role is becoming more and more obvious. Ukraine, in the context of the extremely passive situation on the battlefield, has regarded drones as an important means of launching an attack on Russia. Ukraine has decided to invest heavily in the purchase of 300,000 drones, hoping to confront Russia by asymmetric means. Ukrainian drones have not only attacked Russian battlefield targets, but have also begun to attack a large number of targets in Russia itself, and even began to attack Moscow and other targets in depth.
Regarding the use of drones by Ukraine on the battlefield, Putin also told the truth. Putin noted, "We know that it is not easy for our lads, and enemy drones fly like flies over their heads." "Putin has admitted that Ukrainian drones have begun to fly like flies over the heads of the Russian army, thus carrying out all kinds of strikes on the Russian army. Putin has publicly admitted that this shows that Ukrainian drones have indeed caused great trouble to Russia and have become one of the most headaches for the Russian army on the battlefield. The biggest advantage of UAVs is that they are low in cost, and they can be put into the battlefield in large quantities, while intercepting them costs a huge amount.
Drone duel has become an important part of the battlefield of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and the role of drones will be further expanded in the next step. Ukrainian drones have frequently attacked Russian warships, attacked Russian gas stations, attacked Russian power plants, attacked Russian residential areas, and even attacked the dome of the Kremlin in Moscow. Similarly, Russian drones have also begun to show their skills on the battlefield, constantly attacking important targets such as Ukrainian power plants, railway hubs, ammunition depots, and decision-making centers. It can be said that drone duels have become an important part of the battlefield of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and drones are playing an important role almost every moment. It can be expected that the role of drones will be further expanded in the next step.
Ukrainian fighters traveled 1,500 kilometers to attack Russia's depths and attacked important livelihood targets in Russia's hinterland
Ukraine has already lost the line of defense that has been carefully constructed for 10 years on the front lines such as Donbass, and has been forced to build fortifications while retreating. On the frontal battlefield, Ukraine has fallen into absolute passivity and has begun to be suppressed by the Russian army in all directions. Based on the current situation, the most ideal option for Ukraine is to stop fighting and engage in peace negotiations with Russia. Ukrainian intelligence officials also admit that it is no longer possible for Ukraine to defeat Russia on the battlefield, and that negotiations with Russia for a ceasefire are the most ideal option. However, Ukraine today is no longer able to make a rational choice based on its own interests, and can only make a choice according to the wishes of the West.
Ukraine cannot admit defeat and will continue to resist, even if this resistance will only bring great disaster to Ukraine. Ukrainian unmanned warplanes have traveled 1,500 kilometers and attacked important livelihood targets such as oil refineries in Russia's deep hinterland, achieving the goal of intimidation. It is reported that this time the Ukrainian drone was launched from a distance of about 300 kilometers from the Russian border, and the target of the attack was an oil refinery in the Russian Republic of Bashkortostan, 1,200 kilometers from the Russian border. The Russian side confirmed the Ukrainian attack, acknowledging that Ukraine carried out a drone attack.
Russia's emergency services said on Thursday that a pumping station at an oil refinery in Bashkortostan was damaged, smoke rose over the refinery "no fire, no casualties" and the normal operation of the refinery was not significantly affected. Although Ukraine's long-distance attack did not result in fatal destruction, it still has a great deterrent effect on Russia. This time, Ukrainian warplanes traveled 1,500 kilometers long distance, a "record-breaking range" attack. Ukraine's National Intelligence Service acknowledged the particular attack and warned that Ukraine was capable of carrying out strikes against any target in depth within the Russian mainland.
The attack, which took place on the occasion of Russia's Victory Day parade on May 9, clearly has a special significance. The leader of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Khabirov, said: "This is an attempt to spoil our holiday, we do not intend to give in to provocations, Happy Victory Day!" "By carrying out such an attack, Ukraine is actually more of a threat to Russia, telling Russia that even if Ukraine is suppressed on the battlefield, they still have the ability to carry out sabotage attacks on Russia. Ukrainian drones and missiles have attacked important livelihood targets such as Russian oil refineries and residential markets, although similar to extreme attacks will not turn the tide of the war, but they will cause panic and trouble to Russia.
Russian air defense forces intercepted Ukrainian drone attacks in several areas on the 9th. Russia intercepts several or even dozens of Ukrainian drones every day, but it is still difficult to avoid Ukrainian drones causing some damage to the Russian mainland. Russia is a vast country, and most of the country is sparsely populated, making it very difficult to organize defenses. Even if Russia wins the victory on the battlefield, as long as the United States and Western countries continue to support Ukraine, then such drone attacks in Ukraine will be unavoidable. The Ukrainian drone carried out the attack on a long-distance 1,500 kilometers this time, which means that most cities in western Russia are within the range of Ukraine's attack.
The West turned on the guiding light to escort the whole process
Ukrainian drones 1,500 kilometers rushed to attack targets in depth in Russia, which is definitely not something that Ukraine can do on its own. Many of the UAVs developed by Ukraine are not developed by Ukraine itself, but are completed with the support of the United States and the West. Ukrainian drones can fly 1,500 kilometers to complete attacks, and most importantly, Ukraine uses a lot of advanced technology from the West. Of course, even if the Ukrainian drone has the ability to fly 1,500 kilometers, it is impossible to accurately strike at targets in depth against Russia, and it must rely on early warning and navigation systems from the West. Ukraine simply does not have its own early warning navigation system and can only rely on the West.
Media reports such as Roadway News Agency pointed out that during the 1,500-kilometer attack of Ukrainian drones, the guiding lights of the United States and the West were turned on. It can be said that the Western early warning and navigation system, escorting Ukrainian drones throughout the process, completed this attack on Russia in depth. The United States and the West have been fully involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the field of intelligence and reconnaissance and have become important players. Ukraine's early warning and reconnaissance system has been paralyzed, and now it is basically relying entirely on the support of the United States and the West. The 1,500-kilometer long-distance attack of Ukrainian drones also shows that the United States and the West are increasingly intervening in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
