Ukraine starts massive drone attacks and fires rockets on Russia

Moscow - Russian military leadership announced on Tuesday to react to the attacks by Ukraine. These had attacked Russian regions with six US ATACMS rockets, six British Storm Shadow cruise rocks and one of the biggest drone attacks.

reactions from Moscow

After the Ukraine had fired at ATACMS and British Storm Shadow rockets on Russia last year, Moscow reacted to the attacks within Ukraine on November 21, with the start of a new hyper-Schalltrakete called "Oreshnik" (hazelnik). The Ministry of Defense in Russia said that all western rockets fired by Ukraine to the Brjansk region could be intercepted in the war zone. In addition, two more Storm Shadows were shot down over the Black Sea. "The actions of the Kiev regime, supported by its western curators, will not remain without an answer," emphasized the Ministry of Defense.

Ukrainian attacks on the goals lying deep in Germany

The Ukrainian general staff announced that goals were attacked up to 1,100 kilometers within Russia, including oil camps, refineries as well as chemical and ammunition factories in the regions of Brjansk, Saratow, Tula and Tatarstan. Although Kiev did not explain how the attacks were carried out, there were indications that both drone and rocket forces were involved.

growing tensions and international reactions

The Russian President Vladimir Putin said in November that the war in Ukraine was developing towards a global conflict after the United States and Great Britain in Ukraine had made it possible for the first time to fire their rockets deep into the Russian interior. The designated President Donald Trump asked for ceasefire and negotiations to quickly end the war, which questions the long -term support of Washington for Ukraine. The invasion of Russia in Ukraine in 2022 demanded tens of thousands of deaths, sold millions and triggered the greatest crises in the relationships between Moscow and the West since the Cuban Calculation of 1962.

The biggest drone attack to date

The drone attack on Russia was one of the largest so far. Roman Busargin, governor of the Saratow region, about 720 kilometers southeast of Moscow, reported on a massive drone attack that affected the cities of Saratow and Engels. There were damage to two industrial plants and schools had to switch to remote lessons. Last week the Ukraine had already attacked the same region and targeted an oil camp of a military base for Russian nuclear bombers, which led to a huge fire that had to be deleted for five days.

hits in critical infrastructures

The Ukrainian general staff announced that the crystal oil deposit in Engels was the goal of the attack, which was carried out by Ukrainian drone units and military intelligence service. In addition, attacks on the Brjansk chemical factory were reported, which produced ammunition for artillery, multiple rocket launchers and components for cruise rockets. On Tuesday, a security service from Ukraine confirmed that the drone attack had a ammunition deposit with directed bombs and rockets on the Angel's air base in the Saratow region and several other destinations. In addition, the attacks on the Saratow refinery and the Kazanorgsintez plant had triggered fire.
