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.

No, you are demeaning a rational conservative anti Russian American
Look at bert, defending one of the biggest most outspoken leftist on this forum. Go bert!
“U.S. says”
LOL
Russia is still standing. Ukraine is still standing, but badly battered. Russia and their best friend China are draining western resources bit by bit. Death by a thousand cuts. What’s the next step?
“You people are fricking chumps. I was here when FR was in its infancy. You wouldn’t have lasted a second.”
Oh, so you are admitting that your ilk would have banded together to get rid of someone who had the temerity to hold an opinion different from yours? Funny, you all haven’t changed at all from then till now.
“C’mon! Whores is not a demeaning term.”
Yeah? Then call you mother or your sister one. See what their response is. Or walk up to some couple and call the woman one; and don’t be surprised when you find yourself picking your teeth up from the ground, at the very least.
“You and the other Ukraine cheerleaders can’t handle pushback so you have to run to the Mods.”
Too funny! Your ilk BOASTS about trying to get other FReepers banned.
“You mean what our constitution says?”
Please point out to us that particular part of the Constitution that addresses “America Only.”
“Russia is still standing. Ukraine is still standing, but badly battered. Russia and their best friend China are draining western resources bit by bit. Death by a thousand cuts. What’s the next step?”
Well, China isn’t wasting any time: Its new map of China includes parts of Russia.
Western Aid to the Ukes should be tripling down on drones and drone mission support. We could massively flood Ukraine with these relatively inexpensive drones and equip them for a multitude of missions.
What is the War all about?
Is it keeping the Borders that existed at the end of WW II? keeping the USA in charge of the world? We have lost that fight when we broke up Serbia and let China take Tibet. Is it to bring Russia into our obit of power? That hasn’t worked.
America has lost her way. Keeping this war going is becoming counter productive to our national interests. A few drone strikes on Russia—in hopes it will destabilize Putin is only giving him a chance to rally Russian support for the war. A Ukraine victory will only open new cans of worms. Remember, they have to live with Russia next door.
Fine, I’ll say war prostitutes then.
“Fine, I’ll say war prostitutes then.”
A distinction without a difference.
Please point out to us that particular part of the Constitution that addresses “American taxpayers must fight wars for other countries”
“Please point out to us that particular part of the Constitution that addresses ‘American taxpayers must fight wars for other countries.’”
Son, that’s known as a non-sequitur and a strawman fallacy; typical reactions of people who have lost an argument (which you have). You said the US Constitution was about “America Only.” I called you out on that and asked you to show us just where in the US Constitution “America Only” was addressed. And, of course, you couldn’t. Hence, the non-sequitur and strawman fallacy.
‘The war is coming to Russia’
Famous last words.
