Putin's revenge plan: Ukraine strikes back - escalation threatens!
In the last 24 hours, Ukraine has carried out a significant military strike against Russian fighter jets, drawing international attention. According to oe24 the Ukrainian attacks have achieved high levels of success, both military and media. However, experts fear a possible escalation of the situation and a planned act of revenge on the part of Russia. President Vladimir Putin is expected to respond to Ukraine's attacks, which could further inflame tensions.
The German federal government is alarmed and is closely monitoring developments. The impact of Ukrainian drone attacks on the nuclear potential of the Russian armed forces is particularly worrying. Military analysts expect Russia's response, which could include various air capabilities such as missiles and drones, to come in the next few days. Russian counterstrikes in Ukraine have also reportedly increased, directly linked to the now internationally known Ukrainian Operation Spider's Web.
Military backgrounds
It is important to understand the context of these attacks. As early as December 2022, there was a drone attack on the Russian Engels military base, which is known as a station for nuclear delivery weapons. According to freitag the attacks were aimed at weakening enemy air forces and demonstrating vulnerability to the Russian population. Defense strategies in Russia stipulate that conventional attacks on critical military objects can even trigger nuclear counterattacks.
US media reports that Washington has given Ukraine the green light for drone strikes inside Russia. Ukrainian military intelligence announced that further attacks on the Russian hinterland are planned, which is likely to further aggravate the already tense situation.
Russia's military cooperation with Iran
Another factor that increases the complexity of the situation is military cooperation between Russia and Iran. According to t-online, Iran has continued to supply attack drones to Russia, which is undermining the capabilities of Russian armed forces in the Ukraine conflict increased. Since August 2022, over 400 drones have been delivered to Russia. These drones are mainly used against critical infrastructure in Ukrainian cities.
Russia's defense minister is under pressure as its own drone stocks are depleted, prompting increased cooperation with Iran. This has alarming consequences for Ukraine as well as for the international community as a whole. The US has already imposed comprehensive sanctions on both countries and plans to take further measures in the coming days.
The current conflicts and military developments show how fragile the situation in the region is. Both Ukraine and Russia appear determined to pursue their military strategies, which inevitably increases the risk of a major conflict.
