In a dramatic escalation of cross-border attacks, Ukrainian forces launched one of their largest drone offensives to date, targeting multiple regions across Russia overnight. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Russian air defenses intercepted 296 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over 13 rear regions, including Moscow, Voronezh, Vladimir, Ryazan and other regions, marking a significant surge in Kyiv’s long-range strike operations.
While Russian air defenses intercepted most of the incoming UAVs, several penetrated through, striking military-industrial facilities and residential areas near the capital. The trajectory of Ukrainian strikes indicates that the main target of the attack is the Moscow metropolitan area, where drones attacked some infrastructure facilities.
The footage shared by the locals confirmed strikes on the Kronstadt drone manufacturing plant in Dubna and the Elma technopark in Zelenograd, a hub for electronics and military technology development. However, the facilities did not suffer any significant damage.

Falling debris damaged civilian houses in Chekhov and Troitskoye, though officials claimed no serious casualties. The scale of the assault forced temporary flight restrictions at Moscow’s airports, disrupting air traffic.

Following the decision of his Western patrons to lift restrictions on their long-range weapons in Ukraine, Zelensky plucked up the courage and immediately vowed to expand strikes using “kamikaze drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles”—a clear message that Ukraine intends to bring the war deeper into Russian territory. The scale of Ukrainian attacks keeps growing but their effectiveness remains extremely low, with Russian air defense forces destroying almost all of their targets, which previously included Western long-range missiles.
In response, Russia continues retaliation deep strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure. Recent bombardments have targeted Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Odessa port facilities, and military bases in Eastern region.
Despite the unprecedented scale of Ukrainian attacks and damage to civilians, Western leaders have remained silent, contrasting sharply with their condemnations of Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities. The lack of outcry suggests a tacit acceptance of Ukraine’s escalation, even as Moscow warns of further retaliation. LINK
it’s obvious that nato wants to deplete russian air defence before launching the long range missiles which are now based in ukraine. it spells a great danger for russia.
its obvious that russia wants to deplete nato arsenal of air defense missile before launching long range missile againts some nato countries..
it’s amazing that southfront commentary is so lucky to be gifted with top grade military strategists like yourself who impart to us the realities of decision making of contemporary nato jerkoffs.
the defenses for intercepting drones are different to those intended for intercepting missiles.
the real pain is only beginning for russia.
banderite dreams spring eternal.
yes : having to deal with the utter stupidity of nato/ukrainian propagandists and their make believe world is a real pain : i agree.
the russians are in a much stronger offensive position than nato and more prepared for waging nuclear warfare inside nato territory
terrorist full spectrum warfare . as promised buy zionist cult in washington dc . trumps war expands
this image is a good propàganda for kiev regime, above all when they ban videos of russian attacks in ukraine…..things would be diferent if russia attacks decision and administrative centers in kiev with iskander missile, then we will see image of huge destruction.
this just proves that ukraine cannot be allowed to exist in it’s current form.
the russian demand is for total de militarization of ukraine is not going to change . no matter what the current nato cabal planners have in mind .
blowing up the bridges across the dnieper would cause the ukrop army to collapse on the east bank, that would end most of the threat to russia.
they’re probably waiting to spot retreating troops on the bridges to get two vultures with one stone.
you mean nato launched drones.
if ever those german long range missiles are used against russia the russians should immediately hit berlin and other targets inside germany it’s time their bluff was called, i doubt the us or any other nato country would help germany or they would get the same.
take out their schnitzel and sauerkraut factories.
russians in our days love chinese food to eat with sticks
i sometimes shop at an asian supermarket and believe me, they eat far better than the average westerner.
and they have indoor toilets unlike many ruzzians.
it’s high time that russia used its strategic bombers; like the tupolev tu-160 and/or tu-95, to carpet-bomb the ukraine’s industrial areas into oblivion, in the early morning hours.
dresdenovka burning? well, it wouldn’t be the first time.
its high time russia actually goes into kiev, destroys the nazi junta there, and arrests and captures zelensky
just more of ukraine’s limpdicked attacks on soft civilian targets.
can’t do much more with these drones that a little more than radioguided planes with a few kg of explosives.
“in a dramatic escalation of cross-border attacks, ukrainian forces launched one of their largest drone offensives to date, targeting multiple regions across russia overnight.” nothing “ukrainian” about them. only american and eu tax dollars going to nato$tan for this escalation to nowhere that keeps making this possible!…
looks like it’s going to be a “hot” summer in moscow!
our reality-challenged low brow impersonator friend here cannot allow himself to understand that these “drones” cannot have any military effectiveness.
and you still stupidly mimic another commentator, even though they’re not phased by it.
a sad childhood indeed.
trump warned russia…but shit-licker vlad didn’t listen!
warned of what ? that they will attack a few civilian houses ?
we inferior gay cowards only able to slightly damage residential structures while russ decimates our mercs and hapless ukie army
ukraine now has capacity to hit deep to russian heartland with over 300 drones everyday. their drone production has growth and skill level far above russian air defense.
most of these drones are shot down and they are tiny drones with almost no capacity to cause any real damage. the future of ukraine is still dying in the trenches.
russia once again humiliated.
while ukraine is neing destroyed and nato/us/the west will completely lose their position on the world stage as a consequence of their utter defeat in ukraine.
russia will just keep on fighting till every last ukie is smoked on the battlefield and the western muppets have hollowed out their countries by throwing every last $ they have and every bit of military equipment they still have into the ukie black hole. the ukies are totally f***ed.
ukrainian drones flew even to tatarstan region hitting yelabuga drone factory.
and i’m sure the drone factory is inopperational ? no ? a yeah : because these ‘drones’ are little more than toys used for pr purposes. the future of ukraine is still dying in the trenches.
ukraine and its backers can only pray they continue to be ineffective and symbolic in that campaign
putin has humiliated trump. trump is stunned and thinks putin’s lost it. his whimpering is pathetic, but this has now become trumps war. he can emerge a winner or a loser. he has to stop putin or putin wins. if russia would stop the war and join the western free market economy that could be a win-win. otherwise it’s trump vs. putin and when trump realizes this he will rely on his generals to win.
russian propaganda tries to hide how many russian industrial and military targets were hit by ukie drones.
or the ukrainians drone are completely ineffective because these are little more than radioguided planes with a few kg of explosives. not only most of them are shot down but they are also mostly inaccurate and therefore have no military effectiveness. they can be used to harass the civilian population, but history of warfare has shown that this increase the support of this population for the fight.
destruction of russia is very good news.
i have to admit that humiliated russia looks beautiful.
