Military Overview: Ukraine Launched Massive Drone Attack, Testing Russian Air Defenses

Illustrative Image

Ukraine and its NATO partners launched several attacks on the Russian territory. Several incidents with UAVs took place in different Russian regions.

On February 27, three Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted over the Russian border Belgorod region. Russian air defence systems shot down the UAVs over the city of Belgorod. The wreckage of drones fell on residential buildings without causing significant damage.

“In Belgorod, the wreckage of three unmanned aerial vehicles was found at once. There are no casualties, but there is destruction: some windows are broken out, some cars are slightly damaged. The special services are already dealing with the situation. Since I am in the hospital myself, I instructed the mayor of Belgorod, Valentin Demidov, to go to the scene of the incident” the governor of the Belgorod region claimed.

The exact modification of the UAVs has not yet been identified, but most likely they are homemade kamikaze drones. They were equipped with explosive devices with striking elements in the form of small metal balls. According to some reports, the Ukrainian military used British explosives.

Their wreckage that was found in the city was sent for a detailed study, and already the first data indicated a British trace in the supply of such weapons to the Kiev regime.

The blocks carried by the UAVs were marked PE8 L23A1. Some sources claimed that these are explosive devices in special containers that were delivered to the Kiev regime by the British Ministry of Defense. The total mass of the explosive used in such a block is approximately 1.5-1.6 kg in TNT equivalent. Even one explosive is sufficient to cause significant damage to an infrastructure facility and civilians.

The target of the attack is unclear. The Ukrainian military likely attempted to hit the residential areas of the city in order to terrify the local population. Another target could be a fuel storage facility in the Belgorod region. Explosive devices could lead to catastrophe, including the detonation of tens of tons of hydrocarbon fuel in the storage facility. However, the UAVs failed to approach the facility and fell on the city streets. The work of the Russian air defense did not allow the drones that took off from the territory of Ukraine to achieve their goals.

Another drone reportedly crashed in the Surazhsky district of the Bryansk region.

Another incident took place at night in the Russian city of Tuapse located on the Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar region. At about 2 a.m., fire broke out at the oil depot belonging to the Russian company Rosneft. It was extinguished within 20 minutes.

The oil storage itself was not damaged. According to local reports, the broiler building and the heating system of the dining room were damaged.

Some Russian sources supposed that the facility was targeted by the UAVs. According to unconfirmed reports, two drones packed with explosives attacked the oil depot. Some locals claimed that the drones were flying through the city, and not from the sea.

Any details and comments of the Russian officials are yet to be provided.

These wreckage likely belongs to a Ukrainian UAV, possibly Tu-141 or Tu-143.

 

 

On February 28, another drone crashed in the Moscow region near the village of Gubastovo in Kolomna. Its target could be a civil infrastructure facility, Governor Andrey Vorobyov said in a telegram channel. The UAV was found 10 meters from the fence of the gas compressor station of Gasprom in Kolomenskoye district.

“As for the incident with the fall of a UAV in the Kolomna city district: it happened near the village of Gubastovo, the target was probably a civilian infrastructure facility, it was not damaged. There are no casualties and destruction on the ground,” he said.

According to preliminary reports, this was Ukrainian UAV UJ-22 Airborne, manufactured by Ukrjet.

On February 28, all air flights were temporarily suspended in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region after an unidentified large UAV was spotted in the sky 160-200 kilometers from St. Petersburg. 

According to preliminary information, the flying object was a simulator of a NATO UAV. But more detailed information has not yet been provided.

Russian fighters reportedly took off in the region.

A little after all the flies in the region were suspended, the alarm regime was stopped and landing of civilian aircraft began in the airport.

Air alert reportedly sounded on TV channels and radio in some Russian regions. The signals sounded for only a couple of minutes. They called on viewers and radio listeners to go to the shelter.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia has denied reports of an air alert, clarifying that the announcement of an air alert was broadcasted as a result of hacking the servers of radio stations and TV channels information about .

The Ukrainian military and its NATO partners have already demonstrated their ability to carry out military provocations on the Russian territory, including with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Ukraine is actively using UAVs to attempt sabotage on Russian territory, including at a considerable distance from the zone of a special military operation.

All today’s emergencies should be considered as preparation for the spring offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when the purpose of such strikes will be to destabilize Russian rear and disperse mass panic among Russians.

Kiev is assessing the reaction of Russian authorities, while the Ukrainian military is checking the capabilities of Russian air defense and cyber forces in various regions.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have already attacked Ukrainian factories and storage warehouses where, drones and their components supplied to Ukraine were manufactured. The enemy’s reserves were partially thinned out.

Today’s strikes on the Russian territory became the first test of unmanned Ukrainian systems to carry out a massive attack on several directions. So  far, judjing by the preliminary reports, today’s attack failed to cause any significant damage to Russia.

Switch ‘Massive’ with ‘Failed’ and the story immediately becomes credibly titled.

The Ukrainian’s attacked an oil depot with two drones and only managed to damage the heating system of a dining room? How to win wars and influence people, the Ukrainian way.

Thats not a fact. They has become better and better. Here its seemes they can make cheeper drone versions hitting something – for a try.

If the article is true.

Ok, bi-passive old fart

Noted is that the attack on the civilian structure had an explosive charge 1.5 or 1.6 kg TNT packed with metal ball barring obviously designed to inflict injury or death on civilians what sort of mind plans and carries out attacks like this on civilian targets these people are not only criminal’s but sick and evil

Something for something. If You send candy they will too.

CrazyCanuck

what kind of people carry out/endorse these attacks you ask?

Trudeau, Nulland, Biden, Scholz, Sunak, Macron, and any western ‘freedom’ loving corrupt country that assists the US.

Peter Jennings

One of the images shown shows most of the bearings still in the bag they were packed in so the design must be fairly poor.

jens holm

If its true, its nice. Missiles/drones the other way too makes sense.

The air alarms was hacking. Its fine with me too. Some Russian groups hacking the EU systems. So how does it feel.

Russia could make a start by annihilating all US illegal bases in Syria and blowing up the oil fields,they can be restored later.

Their business partners in israel will probably object to this so it wont happen.

Bears repeating… NONE OF THIS would be happening now had the Russian Federation summoned it’s foreign service home from F-U.K.U.$./I$rael in 2014 after the horned Troll from Washington Nudleman and her “flunky” Geoff Pyatt spilled the beans… With an ultimatium to those dual Russian national(s) living in those countries that if they didn’t come “home” within 6 months they would NEVER be coming home. Expelled the foreign service(s) of those 3 countries from Russia and closed there membership with the UN Ca$in0 in that first year!…

Hohols are dumb. The only thing they have is an overabundance of hate.

When they need to hurt their case or give more legal reasons for Russia, they are always eager to do more vile shit the war criminal style.

Je čas aby sa RF zamyslela nad tým ako bude čeliť tomuto nepríjemnému stavu. Možnosti a riešenia sa tu hneď a to vniekoľkých rovinách. Bude záležať ktorú si RF vyberie. Je to pasívna obrana, alebo obrana na základe útoku. Zostrojenie takéhoto dronu vyžaduje isté skúsenosti a tiež výrobnú základňu. A ak sú dovážané zo zahraničia tak treba udrieť na toho kto ich dodáva. Je totižto už priamim účastnikom konfliktu!!! RF by mala začať konať!!!

I dont get why Russia is fighting Ukraine when they puppet handlers are elsewhere?

Bc the puppet handlers would put mid and short range missiles on Russia’s doorsteps and have Ukraine ethnically cleanse eastern Ukraine. So, remove the close/immediate threat first. If you’ve got a mad dog at your throat, get rid of it first. No use driving 3000 miles to tell the master off.

Explonsive devices came from UK, Russia shall supply explosive devices to I. R. A too.

” these are explosive devices in special containers that were delivered to the Kiev regime by the British Ministry of Defense. ” On reciprocal basis Russia should send a few tones of military grade explosoves and 2-3 thousand of assault rifles to the Irish Republican Army (IRA). That might be a good lesson for GB not to interfere in the future.
