Ukraine continues to hit Russia through technology. During the four and a half years of war since , the fronts show few changes. The military industry does, which at times advances faster than the course of the war itself. and in the battle of the droneskyiv continues to surprise Moscow.
For years, both within the Ukrainian geography and beyond the border that separates both countries. And in recent times those surprise attacks have gotten worsein intensity and scope.
On the night of Saturday the 16th to Sunday the 17th, a large-scale operation of hundreds of ukrainian drones against 14 of its central regionsthe Black Sea coast and occupied Crimea. Three people died near Moscow.
“The distance from the Ukrainian border is more than 500 kilometers. The concentration of Russian air defenses in the Moscow region is at its peak. But we have it under control. Glory to Ukraine!” Volodymyr Zelensky celebrated.
The radius of action is much greater. kyiv has reported successful attacks in Russian locations such as Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Perm and Cheboksary, located almost 2,000 kilometers from the border between both states. More recently they have reached the heart of the Ural Mountains, the mountain range that separates European Russia from Asia.
The remoteness of the Ural region is key because it is Russian reserve base from sectors such as weapons, metallurgical, oil or chemical. Until a few months ago it was considered a unreachable territory for Ukraine by the pure logic of distance.
But, as detailed, “today, distance is no longer a guarantee,” especially in a country that includes up to 11 time zones due to the infinite national geography.
Its strength is also its weakness, adds the French newspaper, which concludes that “Russia is simply too vast to be fully protected“, even more so with archaic and elaborate air defense systems in retrospect for believing a good part of its geography to be impregnable.
