Ukraine launched ambitious drone attacks across Russia overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Ranging from Pskov, near the Estonian border, to Sevastopol in Crimea, these strikes damaged at least four Russian military transport aircraft, a microelectronics factory, and a fuel depot. As shown in my annotated Google Map below, Ukraine's drones were able to penetrate various multilayered Russian air defense networks. The red circles indicate confirmed strikes.
The Kremlin believes that leveraging the threat of direct military conflict with NATO will pressure NATO states to make Kyiv avoid future strikes on Russian territory. And while that Russian strategy might well succeed were Kyiv listening to Washington more than it is London, the opposite is true. Nor is Estonia weak. Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is a strong leader, and Estonia's forces and people are resolute.
Similar was the argument of Moskovskij Komsomolets columnist Dmitry Popov. Calling for new export restrictions on Estonia, Popov added,"We should not forget that the conflict is a hybrid one. And if, for example, in Estonia now something accidentally explodes, burns, or collapses, then we have absolutely nothing to do with it." This is a play to previous Russian GRU intelligence service sabotage operations in NATO states such as the Czech Republic.
