Ukrainian Drones Strike Six Russian Regions, Destroy Planes at Airfield
US News ^ | 8/29/2023 | Reuters

Posted on 08/30/2023 5:14:35 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Ukrainian drones struck targets in at least six regions deep within Russia on Wednesday, including an airfield where they destroyed military transport planes, in one of the broadest volleys yet of Kyiv's campaign to turn the tables on Moscow.

Russian officials described attacks on targets in the Pskov, Bryansk, Kaluga, Orlov, Ryazan and Moscow regions. The Russian foreign ministry said the attacks would "not go unpunished" and could not have reached so far into Russian territory without Western help.

In Pskov, in northern Russia more than 600 km (400 miles) from Ukraine, a huge fire erupted at a military airfield. Tass news agency reported at least four giant Il-76 transport planes were damaged, two of which had "burst into flames".

With all the destruction being rained down on Russia by the CIA... I mean Ukraine... the whole country must be destroyed by now with Ukrainian troops roaming the streets of Moscow.

My favorite Russophile deflection is the over exaggeration.

It’s not enough that Ukraine attacks air bases as far away as Pskov and takes our bombers no longer in production. The whole country isn’t rubble, so disregard.

Fascinating.

You mistakenly attribute the successful attacks on Russian militery targets within Russia to the CIA. The attacks were made by the increasingly superior Ukranian military forces

I hope we have a defense for that when they come here.

Yes, I have noticed that. If the Ukrainians are not marching on Moscow then nothing that they are doing is worthwhile. In the meanwhile ignore the fact that the Ukrainians have fought the Russians to a standstill and are the ones who are now advancing, albeit slowly. Any day now, we are assured, the Russians will stop being nice and march on Kyiv in 48 hours.

I’m curious, the planners of this attack deep within Russia, just what do they think the final outcome will be?

a. Russia being humiliated.

b. Russia capitulating, and pulling out all troops.

c. Or a military payback the likes that the Ukrainians have never seen.

I’m betting on c, a huge payback that will escalate the war.

I heard that a mass of them flew from Estonia. A NATO country.

Not good.

“escalate”

There it is ...
that’s the word I was looking for.

There are some crazy folks out there..

Ukraine had a peace deal early on ... Washington put the halt on that .. so who is it that wants to keep the meat grinder grinding?
A lot of US tax payer $$ sloshing around over there.

yup I think option C may be in the forecast.

The world depopulation program is just getting started.

Never attribute to ‘superior Ukrainian military forces’ that which is adequately explained by ‘Russian incompetency’...............

What we have learned over and over and over is that Russian incompetence yields Ukranian military superiority.

It’s really like last year’s NFL Playoffs.

The Jacksonville Jaguars made it into the playoffs only because they sucked the least in their division..........😜

Putin’s military adventurism. Bad for neighbors, bad for Russia.

Since Russian forces weren’t crushed by NATO upon entering Ukraine the idea of military conquest and absorption of territory has spread to African nations. Great work Putin!

They see, the do.
