A third Russian airfield was ablaze on Tuesday from a drone strike, a day after Ukraine demonstrated an apparent new ability to penetrate hundreds of kilometers deep into Russian air space with attacks on two Russian air bases.
Officials in the Russian city of Kursk, located close to Ukraine, released pictures of black smoke above an airfield in the early morning hours of Tuesday after the latest strike. The governor said an oil storage tank there had been set ablaze but there were no casualties.
It came a day after Russia confirmed it had been hit hundreds of kilometers from Ukraine by what it said were Soviet-era drones - at Engels air base, home to Russia's strategic bomber fleet, and in Ryazan, a few hours' drive from Moscow.
Kyiv did not directly claim responsibility for the strikes but celebrated them.
"If Russia assesses the incidents were deliberate attacks, it will probably consider them as some of the most strategically significant failures of force protection since its invasion of Ukraine," Britain's ministry of defence said on Tuesday.

All depends upon where the drones were launched from. If they were drones.
US missile launch using Ukraine Nazis as cover.
Sochi and Moscow are in drone range now.
Unfortunate news for Comrade Putin...

I don’t think it’s quite that simple. It is probably leading toward retaliatory escalation. Don’t expect Putin to crawl away with whimper. If you’ve seen my post, I don’t propagandize for any side. I think the whole thing is messy.
putin’s likely to lose even more support at home for his little three-day war
Drove that nail home...yup
Huh, Putin pushers told me that Russia had “real air defenses”.
Which country has electricity?
Horse manure. Please stop posting pure crap.
What’s the going rate now? Biscuits and gravy.....fool
Your premise is flawed
You assume a Russian capability that doesn’t exist. Retalliation is already maxed out
Posting your DOD/DOS propaganda a bit earlier than usual, eh? Did they give you an earlier shift today?
Says the horse manure king.

That is just assuming Russia completely abandoned all of it’s cold war research programs and obeyed all the treaties.
But this is all going perfectly by Comrade Putin’s plan. LOL.
You should go back to your history books and re-read the section on Hitlers London blitz. How did that end up? Lack of a power grid doesnt mean defeat. In fact it only strengthens resolve.
I dont post bull$hit. If you are going to insinuate this was a US attack, put some facts on the table or take your little minded insults and wise cracks to DU.
Think....just think for a fkn moment....He would lay waste to this $hit hole if he chose. Think bigger....I’m a cold war vet....he has a different agenda. He and his country will exist during our bullshit reset.....fkn think
And a Newbie says what?
