Amid the ongoing Russian retaliation strikes on the Ukrainian ports, Zelensky threatened Moscow with response. On the night of July 24, Ukrainian drones targeted the Russian capital.
According to the mayor of Moscow, two drones attacked the city at about 4 am. As a result of the attack, non-residential buildings were damaged. An explosion took place in a business center on Likhachev Avenue when a drone hit on the 17th and 18th floors. The wreckage of another drone was found on Komsomolsk Avenue.
The target of the attack was likely the building of the Russian Ministry of Defence located in the same district. However, the UAVs did not reach their target. They were intercepted by Russian EW means. As a result, no one was wounded, only several building received minor damage. Traffic on Komsomolsky Avenue and Likhachev Avenue was temporarily blocked.
The Russian Ministry of Defence blamed Kiev for the attack. The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the attack an act of international terrorism. The Ukrainian media, citing sources, reported that the drone attack in Moscow was an operation prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine.
any attack on russian territory should be a resigning matter for shoigu & gerasimov. any attack on moscow should be a resigning matter for putin. the russian people deserve better than these 3 stooges.
no air defebce is inpenetrable, you dickhead . less than an air space so vaste. ever forgotten that not even in gulf war old scud were routinely intercepted?
these aren’t scud missiles, and this is 2023. failure to detect lumbering drones possibly aunched from russian territor not only constitutes a failure of ads but of military intel. standards in wartime must be higher, this applies to protecting donbass civilians also. try to be civil in future.
protecting donbass civilians is a good argument : that’s why the whole smo. otherwise : how did you get the idea any country on this earth could 100% protect against terrorist attacks? why should russia be that country?
these are wartime military attacks on civilians by the afu, just like the cluster bomb today in the lpr. if rus was unable/ unwilling to protect dpr & lpr from kiev’s usa puppets then it shouldn’t have got involved. it did and should fight to depose the regime, not supply it and nato with energy!!!
as pma said numerous times: putin don’t want to meet the requirements of a rapid and decisive defeat of bandera shithole, for the sake of it’s backing oligarchs and political status. that is wrong as hell. rusia will going to have regular defeats on a regular basis.
until rus has a leader that is not in thrall to its oligarchs and the west then it will inevitably be broken up, which btw is the us government’s openly stated policy. the west prefers putin, it knows his weaknesses. it only keeps attacking him to convince the rus people he must be a ‘strong leader’ – but events (including his pathetic handling of prigozhin’s treasonous revolt) prove that he isn’t. putin is more of a danger to rus than biden is.
listen kid, go back to school and read some books !! you have your strong leader biden (lmfao), now go away and be happy and don’t worry about the russian leader. ps your military knowledge is zero !!
just days ago russian shot down 28 out 28 drones directed to crimea. idiot.
it’s just such a pity they can’t manage to shoot down the ones bound for moscow – or establish a dmz to prevent the kiev fascists taking pot shots at donbass civilians. there should be no drones directed to crimea at this point, the fact that there is after exactly 17 months of smo says it all.
the question is why would no one ever dare to do this to washington but does it to moscow? the only ones stupid or crasy enough to attack the us homland were al quaida. everyone else knows that us homeland if of limits unless you want to cease to exist as a country. the first attack on russia by un messures (not donbas and not crimea) should have resulted in the destruction of every major military and secret service building in ukraine and a missile exploding above zes head.
correct. but putin play a card in concordance with his political, not social, nor anything else….tuned for its backing oligarch gang. and the oligarchs don’t want to loose theirs top status nor the link with the west. such scenario means a direct invasion from kukrainii nazi reich and to counter that russia should go full war status, that meaning return to some kind of stalinism because inside are a lot of 5 column bandits
also in that scenario putin will loose much popularity and the communists will surpass him and its oligarchoid system which is the most feared situation by its moguls. the communists are good to die on frontline against nazi infection and are regularly chased inside.from day 1, here sf audience can confirm, pma said putin is no good to wage that war. period.
i hate to say that, but i agree with you.
pma too. for russia is expected a long attrition war with plenty of hits and back downs.
you are definitively an idiot, as low flying stealty uav are more difficult to lock and shot down pver ground. imbecile and incompetent who cannot understand even this simple basic.
if russia would had the good old days sssr patriotic guards all around the country, there would not be any ‘stealth’ low flying uav. along such hundreds of km is impossible that some civilian armed patrols to not see and shot down it or at least to report further. to say the least.
but by your own admission mr vv rus took out 28 out of 28 drones targeting crimea! or does electronic jamming only work over water?
you would like that be a huge win for west over a nothing incident. russia will push forward with sound strategy to disarm and bankrupt the west. look forward when you spend all your time trying to find food while living under a bridge and have not time to post here with the adults
rus and donbass citizens have suffered far too many ‘nothing incidents’. 4,500 donbass civilians have died since the smo, another 14,000 since 2014. rus won’t disarm & bankrupt the west, nor does it want to. securing the donbass was the stated aim, it needs to stop messing about.
correct. that stupid ideas you can defeat the money printing press in a record breaking time is deep lunacy.
so tell this to western population tgat sees soaering prices for fiod and fuel!
i live in westoid colony called romania, one of the poorest country in ue and peoples are far away from desperation. almost all middle class managed to go throw by cancelling travels and holidays and divert the money to food and fuel. as pma said, that long and very heavy freight train called ue or us shithole economy have enormous inertia.first real signs will hit only after 2 years. now, it’s only 1.5. real hurting phenomena start after at least 4 years.
macroeconomics not your strong point either, is it?
with this logic all russian leadership would have to resign , no matter how capable and intelligent. simply: russia must surrender , the west will send no more drones and everybody will be happy. a new clown like gorbatchev or yeltsin would be installed to finally divide the huge country into thousand pieces. and then they all live happily everafter.
who wants a new clown? let putin look after trade & the economy & brics speeches. meanwhile put a more adept and uncompromising wartime leader in charge, push to odessa and secure all territory. btw, the west owns putin.
your about as intelligent as your profile picture. pushing forward now will only kill more russians and escalate the situation. an aggressive approach is exactly what the west wants. slow and steady wins the race.
but that ‘slow and steady’ will kill many more, and in the end probably youwill not have a potent army anymore. also seems bandera is not giving a shit about escalating, staying too much in a reactive mode will freeze you forever. btw, that idiot ‘slow and steady’ got nazi’s in kleeschevka now, which is already lost as pma said 15 days ago.
a place for which wagners done many sacrifices and who is vital for backmut defense. slowly the nazi rats reverse all wagner extraordinary exploits. and when backmut is encircled putin will sign a new mobilization, stupidity equal with high treason.
an aggressive approach is precisely what the west feared, and this smo could have been over in months. but the rus high command hesitated & putin vacillated. rus had 8 years to plan to take out kiev’s fascist regime but sat watching their forces grow stronger as donbass civilians old and young died. energy to nato & the west arms suppliers should have been turned off feb 24 2022. wars are not fought by giving cheap energy to the enemy to make munitions.
totally agree with you. 2009 was a clear warning, so should’ve acted decisively in 2014 during maidan, by sending the ukrainian army, tienanmen style, back then, then clean up shop.
i’d like to be so optimistic, but russia looks snookered : nord stream is gone, finland/sweden are in nato, erdogan keeps playing each side, and the recent attacks show russia is less, not more secure since the smo. imo russia had an opportunity until april 2022, and they let it slip.
“war time leader”, in fact putin is a war time leader since ca. 2000 or even before. trade , economy and brics are null and void if the country is militarily weak and threated. to save russia he chose (in my opinion) the only realistic way , to prepare the country for a possible military confrontation. the results are overwhelming. but nothing is perfect, time will show if it was enough to survive.
so what was done by putin from 2000 for the russian army ? it is red army a 3 million strong highly experienced, trained and supplied army ?
tell that to dpr & lpr citizens who trusted rus to protect them. putin turned a blind eye to their slaughter by a us puppet regime for 8 years. he was then conned on the minsk accords, even z was laughing. the west should be terrified of russia, but knows putin is more interested in selling gas to russia’s enemies to benefit his oligarch chums.
russia cannot and should not occupy west ukraine. it would turn into afghanistan all over. it had a small window of opportunity until april 2022, to overwehlm ukraine and force neutrality or russia friendly regime. but they pussyfooted, resulting in nord stream attacks, and lost their bargaining chips.
you’re also correct. but the answer is not…putin and its strategy/approach for that kind of war.
they should hire you instead :)
… and what is more amazing b.f. is that you would get any down votes given the serious nature of the enemy being inside the russian fortress instigating these attacks?…
saying it again for those russians that wish to learn. how is it possible that the russian federation through it’s titular head haven’t expelled all foreign service personnel from russia after the yanukovitch government was thrown out under coup then in 2014?… it was a war 9 years ago!… yet russia still abides by the west’s rules including keeping their membership in the un ca$in0 that sets the price of their energy and pm for them through the western cbs!…
sir, you are damn correct. putin will loose that war. in a way or another. also a truce, which seems being the real goal of putin will be catastrophic for russia for medium-long term.
let’s apply the same logic to the us: did anyone call for resignation for bush or rumsfeld after 9/11? no matter how prepared, you simply cannot stop all attacks, period. there are plenty of reasons why shoigu and even putin should’ve resigned, but that’s not this one.
whether the us was attacked or not, & many doubt it was (with compelling evidence), it still reacted hard. the rights and wrongs of using 911 to fake wmds and set up the iraq bloodbath is another matter. defence includes: intel, proactive prevention, strategic planning, adequate weapon systems but most importantly deterrence. rus no longer terrifies its enemies, or the first drone to hit the kremlin would have triggered kiev’s presidential office building being flattened with kinzhals.
are you not contradicting yourself here? is russia not “reacting hard” to the attacks? and what would be the point of taking zelensky out? he’s a puppet, easily replacable. wacking komoloisky would send a much stronger message.
ukraine tried to hit government building in moscow so russia needs to hit nazi government buildings in keiv onely fair.
no patriots and some nice bunker busters for kiev
it’s all a show. a zionist game.
you do know that all parties involved are pro zionist right?
ze has the j-card = cannot be hit by a bomb/ missile unless it’s one from iran or hezbolah.
pma said day 1: ze satanist faggot khazar jew is protected by the agreements. no kill ze means israel stay neutral.
igla, verba, pantsir, tor, s300, s350, s400, s500 ………………….. impenetrable
none said that apart idiots like you.
reason to improve the defence skills against the drones and intensify the strikes on ukraine. nothing more.
lol the little losers get frustrated at inability to strike militarily so, civilians as usual. why would it change now they are fighting russians instead of ukrainians?
about time to show kiev just how inefficient their non existent patriot systems are.
in war you attack your enemies. russia just sounds like the u.s. when they whine about being attacked. also shows they are part of the same dog and pony show and this war is just another zionist production. otherwise it would have been over by now.
you honestly think if russia gets it done another front wouldn’t open. this is a war of attrition played on russian terms. the current strategy is best for everyone and will lead to victory at minimum costs
the question is not if the other front will open. the question is if russia will be done in the time the us need to open other fronts. if not then they will be overstreched between kaliningrad, transnitria, ukraine, belarus, kasakhstan, zakhalin, abhasia, south ossetia, nagorn karabakh and syria.
agreed. to take just one example, azov and mercs were supposed to go on trial and be executed, everyone here was cheering, then they were all exchanged and sent on vacation in turkey. so much for denazification.
budanov is really fishing hard for a kinzhal…
humiliating revenge ? says who, southfront ? give me a break. your true colors have been known for a while.
moskow how so, if drones fly and everyone can see them,means moskow does not have air defense i am pro-russian and all that but attacking moskow from ukraine territory is a big success for the nazis. or russia did do this, yes these are russian drones where finished in abandoned buildings, that is an old-school thing in the book art of war, attack yourself so you can tomorrow attack the one you want.moskow is protected the most of whole russia’s land it is full of ew systems, air defenses .
main intelligence directorate of ukraine – that is to say, a wholly owned subsidiary of the cia.
