Russia will strike a serious blow to Ukraine in response to an attack on military airfields. This was reported by the American newspaper The New York Times with reference to American officials who wanted to maintain anonymity.
officials said that the operation caused damage not only to the strategic potential of Russia, but also demonstrated that Ukraine is able to destroy military aircraft worth more than 100 million dollars using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) worth only $ 600.
At the same time, sources note that these attacks, in their opinion, will not lead to a reduction in Russian operations in Ukraine, but they can provoke a “serious” response from Moscow.
According to officials, Ukraine did not notify the United States about the upcoming operation, because “she knew that Washington would oppose”.
