The Russian military claimed Monday to have shot down a Ukrainian drone approaching the Engles airfield deep inside Russian territory — in what would be the second such attack in a month, raising questions about the vulnerabilities of Russia’s air defenses.
Usually, these are held in reserve to ensure Russia’s nuclear deterrence capabilities. No aircraft were damaged in Monday’s attack, according to the Russian military. The Washington Post could not independently verify Moscow’s claims.Early this month, strikes attributed to Ukraine rocked two military installations deep inside Russia, including Engels.
“If the Russians thought that no one in the deep rear or anywhere else would be affected by the war, then they were wrong,” Ihnat said. “As we can see, such things are happening more and more often, and let’s hope that this will only benefit Ukraine.”Recent months have seen Ukraine grow bolder and become more systemic in its attempts to weaken the Russian military, even as Russian strikes continue to destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure.
