The blows of Ukrainian UAVs can force the Russian Federation to take planes and air defense away from the front - WSJ

Moving aviation deep into the territory of the Russian Federation will lead to the fact that frontier objects will become more vulnerable to Ukrainian blows. This will generally weaken the enemy's position in the current conflict. Ukraine continues to increase the intensity of blows on Russian facilities, having carried out a night attack by drones on the Marynivka military airfield near Volgograd.

In addition, the Borisoglibsk and Savasleika Airflakes, located at a considerable distance from Ukraine, were attacked. Thus, Ukrainian forces can force Russians to move planes and air defense systems away from the frontline areas, writes The Wall Street Journal.

According to the governor of the Volgograd region Andriy Bocharov, Russian air defense means allegedly reflected the attack of Ukrainian UAVs, but the network has published footage of the effects of attacks and results, probably, a large -scale fire at the aerodrome.

According to the expert of the Royal Joint Institute for Defense Research Justin Bronka, although the strikes of Ukrainian drones are already causing significant damage to the Russian military infrastructure, this damage is not strategic. However, if the attacks continue, Russia may encounter serious long -term problems, especially if it has to move the air defense systems and aviation away from the front, making frontier objects more vulnerable to Ukrainian blows.

These actions of the Ukrainian soldiers can also force Moscow to relocate their fighters to the air base, which has led to a decrease in the efficiency of Russian air operations. And the forced increase in the distance of departure, for its part, reduces the number and accuracy of blows, which can weaken the position of the Russian Federation in the current conflict. Earlier it was reported that a significant number of Russian bombers-14 Su-24 and 15 Su-34 were based on the airfield of Marynivka.
