Putin reeling as Ukraine launches 'deepest' attack of war 620 miles inside Russian border
Express UK ^ | 7/2/2025 | John Varga

A series of explosions are heard inside the plant, with workers rushing and screaming as they try to get to safety.

Ukrainian drones attacked a military-industrial complex in the Russian city of Izhevsk on Tuesday, in one of the deepest strikes inside the country since Putin's full-scale invasion. UAVS struck the Kupol Electromechanical Plant, causing a major fire to break out at the site.

Video images circulating on social media channels show the dramatic moment of impact as the deadly drones zeroed in on their target. In one clip, an explosion can be heard, and then a giant ball of flames is seen erupting from the premises. Another video posted online shows panic among workers arriving at the plant for their morning shift.

It comes just days after Ukraine successfully inflicted more pain on Putin's battered air force as it struck the Marinovka airfield in Russia's Volgograd Oblast.

Local residents told the independent Russian media Telegram channel that air raid sirens had failed to go off prior to the deadly attack.

The city is located in the Udmurt Republic of Russia, more than 1000km from (600 miles) from the frontline.

Would you support sending in the US Army to fight Russia?

"In before the first “it never happened” from the Zeeper haters..."

You mean the people who are against billions of our tax dollars being sent to Ukraine and unaccounted-for on the other end, just to fight another proxy war with Russia? Those are zeeper haters?

The Russian air defence and drone manufacturer Kupol plant in the city of Izhevsk has suspended operations following strikes by Ukrainian kamikaze drones on 1 July.

Source: Russian Telegram channel ASTRA, as reported by Oboronka, a defence industry project created by Mezha.Media, a technology and IT news platform within Ukrainska Pravda’s holding company

Details: ASTRA’s sources said that four production workshops at the facility had been damaged.

Why aren’t the Europeans keeping them on a tight leash?

Because like our moronic elite, their governing class has decided to illustrate their virtues by letting the darker hued rape and murder the middle and lower classes of their societies. In particular, their legal class (like ours) is full of Communists who believe Third World barbarians are "oppressed" and every wrong they do can be rationalized away as a result of that "oppression".

“According to this and other reports, Russia is a paper tiger.

But according to most in the EU/NATO, it is a huge threat.

Which is it?”

Both. Just like their ally North Korea.

Western European countries need to worry about Germany and the EUSSR, instead of Russia.

Germany is sending many “migrants” across the border into Poland. As a result, the crime rate has risen significantly and some Polish citizens have formed their own border patrols and are performing citizens’ arrests on migrants.

The YouTube channel “Poland Daily” has opened my eyes as to the worsening situation in Poland.

IMO, Germany’s actions are an act of war.

Here’s one story from Poland Daily about a young Polish woman who was murdered by a Venezuelan invader.

I prefer to call it helping the little guy against the neighborhood bully, especially when he is apparently outclassed as a fighter.

But you are correct in that a full accounting should be required, and the war be ended ASAP. That part of the world seems to breed corruption, but then so do our Democrat infested cities and even some of our small towns.

I’m familiar with that. Of all the countries in Europe, I feel for the Poles the most. It’s a shame.

Does Putin want to conquer western Europe and go to the English Channel?

You have learned that when the facts are not on your side to slander the messenger.

Luckily for Putin, Zelenski doesn’t have any cards to play.
