‘The war is coming home to Russia’: Ukraine turns the tables on Moscow as drone warfare intensifies
CNBC.com ^ | September 1, 2023 | Holly Ellyatt

Posted on 09/01/2023 3:38:14 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

A sharp rise in drone attacks targeting Russian territory is likely to intensify, analysts say, with Kyiv appearing increasingly determined to bring the destruction, instability and unpredictability of war — albeit a fraction of what it is experiencing itself — home to Russia.

Russia has seen a sharp rise in unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, carrying out assaults on western, central and southern Russian regions as well as the capital Moscow and Russian-occupied Crimea in recent weeks.

While Ukraine is continuing a counteroffensive on its own soil to regain Russian-occupied territory in the south and east of the country, and aiming to break Russia’s so-called “land-bridge” to occupied Crimea, the increasing use of drones to assault Russian soil shows another facet of Ukraine’s military strategy.

“The war is coming home to Russia,” Timothy Ash, emerging markets strategist at BlueBay Asset Management, said in emailed comments Wednesday.

“Ukraine is demonstrating that it can make life very difficult for Russia, Russians and Putin,” he added.

“With attacks in Crimea itself, and the land corridor and the Kerch bridge, and Russian shipping in the Black Sea coming under attack the clear message is that while the invasion was partially sold as an effort to improve Russian security, it has made Crimea and Russia less secure for Russian forces.”

“And it is only going to get worse as long as this invasion continues,” Ash added.

As for J6 and etc, I think you should go out and do something about it. At the least, why dont you organize demos at courthouses and procecutors offices and etc? What about raising funds for the victims?

I've actually done that. I've donated to Julie Kelly and gave to groups who were assisting the J6ers.

However, it's much easier for you guys to convince members of Congress to go to war against Russia than for me to convince them to free political prisoners held by their own government in violation of the Constitution.

Anyway, go out and DO. Whatever you think is something you think should be of greater interest or importance. And then post video and pictures in FR. Lead by example.

Why? Arent you guys the lot that is opposed to escalation?

If Putin is truly the 2nd coming of Hitler, then we must formally declare war against him and use U.S. troops only to fight him.

All I'm saying is crap or get off the pot. Don't use another nation and their population to fight your battles. Hit the joint or pass it around.

I think this problem can be handled with a degree of delicacy.
You do not fix a delicate machine by taking a sledgehammer to it, in the normal course of things. Of course there are cases where you may have to, but that would be an unfortunate contingency.

So you believe that, for that reason, you should enjoy special privileges to insult and demean your fellow posters because you don't agree with them? That a different set of rules should apply to you because of your sign-up date?

You are an insult to this entire forum. You always have been.

This is a big issue for neocons and globalists who can’t help but ensnarl America in someone else’s war, half a world away. An America First individual, like me, is more concerned with the consequences for America stemming from this corrupt neocon/globalist misadventure.

Advanced Sarmat ICBM systems go on combat alert in Russia — Roscosmos head

The RS-28 Sarmat missile to replace the R-36M2 Voyevoda ICBM operational in the Russian Strategic Missile Force since 1988
MOSCOW, September 1. /TASS/. Advanced Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems have assumed combat duty in Russia, Roscosmos Chief Yury Borisov said on Friday.

“The Sarmat strategic system has assumed combat alert posture,” the Roscosmos head said at an open lesson of the educational marathon organized by Russia’s Knowledge Society.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 23 that top-notch Sarmat systems with new heavy ICBMs would go on combat duty in Russia already this year.

However, Roscosmos’ presentation demonstrated at the event suggests that Sarmat ICBM systems are set to go on combat alert next year.

The RS-28 Sarmat is a Russian state-of-the art silo-based missile system armed with a heavy liquid-propellant orbital intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear charges. The missile has been developed at the Makeyev State Rocket Center (the town of Miass in the Chelyabinsk Region) to replace the R-36M2 Voyevoda ICBM operational in the Russian Strategic Missile Force since 1988.

Based on experts’ estimates, the RS-28 Sarmat is capable of delivering a MIRVed warhead weighing up to 10 tons to any location worldwide both over the North and South Poles.
