Ukrainian warplane fires weapon at target inside Russia for first time
Sky News ^ | 6/9/2024 | Artem Lysak

A Ukrainian warplane has for the first time fired a weapon that struck a target inside Russia, a Ukrainian military source has told Sky News.

The source said a "Russian command node" was hit on Sunday in the area of Belgorod, western Russia.

Belgorod is close to the border with northeastern Ukraine.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the military source told Sky News: "A Ukrainian Air Force (UAF) mission has struck a Russian command node in Belgorod.

"Whilst damage assessment is still occurring, it is confirmed as a direct hit. This is the first UAF air-delivered munition delivered against a target within Russia."

Ukraine has launched multiple drone strikes deep into Russian territory. But the use of a warplane to strike targets inside Russia could be seen by Moscow as a new escalation.

It is almost as if you attack a country, they will hit you back. Strange how that works.

It'll stop when the Russian troops leave Ukraine.

So, are we headed into the Cuban Missile Crisis, Act 2?

The first nuke used in the looming conflict ahead will be a high altitude burst over uke land.

And you will be among those blamed for what comes next.

Ukraine also destroyed a Russian ammo depot in Belgorod 2 hours ago and the ammo is still cooking off.

Putin has been threatening to use nuclear weapons since 2022. He’s bluffing.

It will be a three front war. The decadent west vs the Marxist east vs Islam. Israel will be the ultimate target that unites all three factions

Sounds like it’s time for US troops around the world to TAKE COVER (and thank the Neocons for this escalation).

The neocons always glibly overestimate their future success - then lose.

Are you saying that with absolute certainty?

I've always found it quite amusing, to see people insist they can predict the actions of a foreign political or military leader, in a different culture halfway around the planet, when they can't even predict the actions of Americans in similar positions.

Do you really think that if Putin would withdraw from Ukraine that Zelensky would continue to attack Russia? If Russia withdraws this all ends.

If I'm wrong, at least it'll be quick.

Putin's a thug. But he's not going to get St. Petersburg and Moscow nuked in retaliation.
