Putin Official Tells Russians To Fend For Themselves Amid Drone Attacks
Newsweek ^ | 4/4/2024 | Brendan Cole

Residents in a region hit by the deepest drone strikes within Russian territory since the start of the war in Ukraine have been warned that air defenses may not be able to protect them from future attacks.

Since the start of its full-scale invasion, Russia has been hit with drone strikes reaching Moscow as well as ammunition depots and warehouses around the country linked to the war effort. Russian authorities blame Ukraine for the attacks, which Kyiv rarely claims responsibility for.

In the latest incident, a drone attack on the Russian republic of Tatarstan on Tuesday reportedly hit industrial areas that produce Iranian-designed Shahed drones which Moscow uses extensively in its invasion.

Responding to the strikes, the head of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, appeared to suggest that the system that usually protects against airborne threats may not help them.

"You should not expect missile defense to work—it solves other tasks," he said in comments reported by Radio Free Europe, without specifying what the other tasks are.

I am waiting to see the Newsweak article about that or an article about all the Chinese men who just crossed our border.

Putin is right that it is hard to shoot down any drone as it fly’s low.
Israel is having the same problem with Hamas Drones.

Russia, Ruzzia, Ruzzia. That’s all Zeepers have.

I guess if Ukrainian children aren’t safe from Russian bombs, why should Russian children be safe from Ukrainian bombs?
