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.

Meanwhile, here in what used to be America, we got pro-life activists and J6 attendees given lengthy federal prison terms.
Homeless and drug-addicted veterans and Legacy Americans on the streets while foreign infiltrators live in 5-star hotel accommodations.
You war whores absolutely make me want to vomit blood.
"You war whores absolutely make me want to vomit blood."
Just a friendly reminder from site management:
Don’t try to run to the Mods. What else do you call endless cheerleading for wars?
Vomiting blood is a very bad sign. My uncle did that. He was dying from cirrhosis. Its not a good way to go, I can assure you. You may want to reconsider.
Slavs killing Slavs. You seem to enjoy that.
Meanwhile your Deep State, GloboHomo slave masters order you to get an experimental medical procedure or else lose your job and ability to earn a living while exempting free loading criminal invaders. Embrace the suck warmonger.
You people are fricking chumps. I was here when FR was in its infancy. You wouldn’t have lasted a second.
You don’t know what being facetious is, do you.
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?
C'mon! Whores is not a demeaning term. It's merely an analogy, a similarity in this context.
You and the other Ukraine cheerleaders can't handle pushback so you have to run to the Mods.
You are making, er, “heroic” assumptions about people you dont know.
And you are unclear on “disingenuous”.
“What else do you call endless cheerleading for wars”
Just a specific war, in this case, for a Ukrainian victory. Which will serve justice, international order, and the global common good.
No, those of us who support Ukraine just want ONE set of posting rules for everybody that are EQUALLY enforced, with NO double standards. That's all.
Then advocate for U.S. troops and the U.S. to fight directly then.
Don't be chicken and hide behind another nation and give them aid and money and tell the public mumble-jumble.
Advocate for the U.S. to formally declare war against Russia and demand that U.S. troops be on the ground directly against Russian troops. If Russia is a threat, it should be invaded directly then, right?
Be the war hawks that I know you can be.
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?
People seem to easily be persuaded to do all kinds of @#%& for bad causes, like gluing themselves to highways. But not for good ones.
Do, dont whine. Be an example.
Whores in this context didn't break the rules.
Why? Arent you guys the lot that is opposed to escalation?
