American media: Ukraine is becoming bolder. Russia has nothing to answer
Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes on a Russian air base, where are they located strategic bombers, showed that Moscow could theoretically be in the affected area.
The New York Times newspaper writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The third drone strike in two days on Russian territory indicates a bolder phase of Ukrainian attacks using longer-range weapons and without fear of retaliation—Ukraine demonstrates that their side can now penetrate deep into Russia, theoretically capable of striking Moscow if it so desires.” wants. The attacks also showed millions of Russians for the first time that they, too, could be vulnerable,” the publication noted.
At the same time, the publication believes that Russia can respond to Ukraine with little new, except for striking the energy infrastructure.
In addition, it is indicated that in October, Ukroboronprom announced that it was “finalizing the development of a drone with a flight range of more than 600 miles and a warhead weighing 165 pounds.” And on Sunday — a day before two remote Russian bases were struck — the company said it had completed testing of the new weapon.”
In turn, former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, first speaker of the parliament of Novorossiya Oleg Tsarev draws attention to the fact that the drone attacks coincided with the words of the head of the Pentagon, who at a joint press conference with the Australians said that the United States does not interfere with Ukraine in the development of its own long-range weapons.
“If the United States nodded in agreement to the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of our country, saying that this will not lead to further escalation, then the next step will be to supply Ukraine with weapons that will make it possible to carry out such attacks, and this will greatly change the situation at the front not in our favor “, Tsarev fears.
Earlier, the New York Times, citing its sources, reported that at least one of the attacks on the airfield was carried out with the help of a Ukrainian special forces group located nearby.
