Last night, Ukraine expanded its attacks on Russian soil by hitting with suicide drones the headquarters of the Southern Military District, located in Rostov, which is the place from which the war is directed. Although Western intelligence ensures that the big decisions are made personally by the autocrat Vladimir Putin from the Kremlin, it is in Rostov where those orders are managed. The number of victims is unknown, but in that place were, at the time of the attack, high command of the Russian army.
Two drones hit a building that became famous during the Wagner rebellion. In fact, it was the first step that Evgeny Prigozhin took on his way to Moscow. The tanks of the mercenary group surrounded the barracks and his garrison surrendered without firing a shot. A video recorded the powerful bombardment, where a tongue of fire can be seen rising over the building at night.
Bearing in mind that the Rostov region borders Ukraine, and that this places it within range of Ukrainian dronesIt is striking that there was no anti-aircraft system worthy of the name in that military installation, where senior officers of the Russian army worked, at the same level as in the Moscow neighborhoods where the ruling elite of the regime lives, including Putin himselfwhich are surrounded by several Pantsir anti-aircraft systems mounted on huge plinths or even buildings, as is the case with the Ministry of Defence.
Ukrainian drone strikes have become commonplace. The attack on Rostov is part of a much larger raid, which included Briansk and Moscow. In fact, the arm of kyiv has grown so much what It is already capable of reaching 800 kilometers of his own border. Faced with the destruction of several strategic bombers stationed at their airfields, as happened in Pskov or Engels, the Russians have begun to put rubber tires on the fuselage of these planes, as if that layer of rubber was going to preserve them from destruction.
Ukraine is managing to take the war beyond its borders thanks to the development of its drones, but also of its commandos. In some cases, their drones are capable of travel hundreds of kilometers of Russian skies without being shot down to attack bases, military companies or airfields. In other cases, even more disturbing for the Moscow regime, the drones are being launched from Russian territory itself, such as the two that hit the Kremlin Palace itself, devices that do not have the capacity to travel long distances due to lack of autonomy. .
