Putin's revenge plan: Ukraine strikes back - escalation threatens!

In the past 24 hours, Ukraine has carried out a significant military strike against Russian fighter jets, which causes a sensation internationally. According to [OE24] (https://www.oe24.at/weltpolpolpensi/das-ist-tutins-rachenplan-nachrlschlag-es-koenn-bald-los, the Ukrainian attacks have achieved high military and medially high success. 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 react to the attacks of Ukraine, which could further fuel the tensions.

The German federal government is alerted and observes the developments closely. The effects of the Ukrainian drone attacks on the nuclear potential of the Russian armed forces are particularly worrying. Military analysts expect the Russian answer, which could include various air capacities such as rockets and drones, will take place in the next few days. According to reports, Russian opposites in Ukraine have also increased in direct connection with the now internationally known Ukrainian operation "spider web".

military background

It is important to understand the context of these attacks. As early as December 2022, there was a drone attack on the Russian military base of Engels, which is known as a location for nuclear carrier weapons. According to [Friday] (https://www.freitag.de/autoren/nikita-gerasimov/nukleares-escalation potential-Ukraine-Greifift-Russische-Militaerbasen-an), the attacks aimed to weaken the opposing air forces and demonstrate the Russian population. Defense strategies in Russia stipulate that conventional attacks on critical military objects can even trigger atomic opposites.

US media report that Washington gave Ukraine's green light for drone attacks within Russia. The Ukrainian military secret service announced that further attacks on the Russian hinterland are planned, which should further tighten 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 continued to deliver attacks drones to Russia, which is the capacity of the 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 Minister of Defense is under pressure because their own drone stocks are exhausted, which leads to increased cooperation with Iran. This has alarming consequences for Ukraine and for the international community as a whole. The United States has already imposed extensive sanctions against both countries and are planning 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 seem to be determined to pursue their military strategies, which increases the risk of a larger conflict.
