Ukraine Launches Major Drone Attack On Crimea

 

DNYUZ/New York Times: Russia Says Ukraine Targeted Crimea With Dozens of Drones 

Russia’s Ministry of Defense said on Friday that Ukraine had launched 42 drones at Crimea and fired a missile not far from Moscow overnight, in a volley that could be one of the biggest known aerial assaults on Russian-held territory since the war began. 

The attacks — the day after Ukraine claimed that its special forces had staged a brief raid into the occupied Crimean Peninsula and fought with Russian forces — comes as the tempo of long-distance Ukrainian attacks has intensified in recent weeks. 

Russia’s Defense Ministry said that all of the drones had been intercepted by air defenses or electronically jammed. It also said it had shot down a Ukrainian missile over the Kaluga region of Russia, which borders the Moscow region.

How much money are we spending on these drones? Nobody knows because there is no accountability. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re being bilked for a million plus a shot
