Took Ukraine a while to work the bugs out, but now they appear to be ramping up coordinated drone attacks deep within Russia

just payback for what Russia did

[Reverend Wright]

This is about as militarily significant as the V1 and V2 rocket attacks on the UK.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "Ukraine's intensifying long-range drone strike campaign against Russian cities is a key part of Kyiv's ongoing counteroffensive operation, the former commander of U.S. Army Europe, retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, has told Newsweek."

"He [ Hodges ] endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 U.S. presidential election in an op-ed with Ambassador Robert A. Mandell and Lieutenant General Donald M. Campbell Jr."

That's what conservatives do. They endorse Biden.... < sarc >

Here’s the thing: It’s obvious to me that discount drones are not flying across hundreds of miles of Russian territory to hit these targets. They’re being launched and controlled from relatively nearby.

Uke has no chance. Never did. Should’ve kept their word in the Minsk agreements and said “No!” to NATO turning their country into a military springboard. But instead they asked for it, and now they’re getting it good and hard.

A few drones mean nothing in the overall picture. Its like claiming the blood and cuts on the fists of a dominating boxer is proof the boxer is “wounded” while ignoring the pummeled sack of meat on the ground.

...just payback for what Russia did...

All Russia asked was compliance with the Minsk agreements Ukraine had agreed to until the CIA decided they needed regime change in Russia so they could steal Russia's natural resources.

Russians could level Kiev without using nukes....

[Kazan]

So, NATO must resort ISIS-like terrorist attacks on Russian civilians because Ukraine is getting ass kicked on the battlefield.

It's no wonder the rest of the world hates us and are allies.

[PGR88]

What will happen when the same occurs in Washington DC?

Those are the rules on the playground.

[taxcontrol]

I am of the opinion that this is not a good strategy. The focus needs to be on destroying Russian troops and equipment inside Ukrainian borders.

Ukraine's Western Sponsors Running Out of Ammo & Out of Time

Aug 31, 2023

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 31, 2023:

- The Western media is trying to spin Ukrainian gains within the security or “gray zone” ahead of Russia’s first of several defense lines as a “turning point” in the offensive;

- Ukraine’s offensive potential has been exhausted with the West struggling to find arms and ammunition to replace Ukrainian losses;

- The West is even struggling to pull together large numbers of antiquated and inappropriate equipment like the post-WW2 Leopard 1 tank;

- Meanwhile Ukraine continues conducting drone strikes in Russia, achieving questionable PR value and little else;

- A recent Ukrainian drone strike on an airport hosting Il-76 strategic airlift aircraft damaged 2. To put that in context, Russia operates over 100 of these aircraft and has production capacity to build up to 12 annually;

- Ukraine’s sponsors are unable to sustain the conflict “for as long as it takes,” and only for as long as they have arms and ammunition to supply Ukraine in sufficient quantities;
