Ukraine Drone Strikes Expose Putin's Regime Crisis - Jason Jay Smart



Ukraine is now striking inside Russia: drone attacks on Moscow, missile hits on airbases, and precision strikes eliminating Russian assets. In just 48 hours, Ukraine shut down Moscow’s airspace, triggered fires across Voronezh, Belgorod, and Kursk, and exposed the Kremlin’s inability to defend its own territory.

Kyiv’s drone and missile campaign is accelerating. Ukrainian deep strikes are targeting Russian airbases, fuel depots, command centers, and logistics hubs. MAGURA V7 sea drones have crippled operations in Sevastopol. Millerovo’s destruction forced Russian jets to withdraw. Explosions hit Zelenograd’s substations. The Black Sea Fleet is fearful that it will soon join the Moskva.

Putin looks panicked. Medvedev is threatening nuclear war. And the FSB and Ministry of Defense are locked in internal blame. Russian state media brands the strikes as terrorism—trying to hide battlefield losses and political chaos.

Ukraine is forcing Russia to defend its core—Moscow, Sevastopol, Belgorod. Each strike weakens Russia’s war machine and shakes regime stability. This is escalation with purpose: targeted, relentless, and strategically devastating.

I suspect International Courts and other neutral parties might consider it self-defense, with the extremely one-sided terrorism clearly originating in Moscow, thanks to the convicted felon's total indulgence of his criminal-in-arms counterpart.

And these sound suspiciously like exclusively military targets, a "nicety" that russia cannot claim, given their targeting of civilians, including schools and hospitals.
