The US believes that Russia has not yet struck a "impact" for a large -scale attack on airfields

To spread: Putin's actions in response to a blow to military aerodromes have not yet taken place. It is expected that "retaliation" in Kiev will include both rockets and drones, and will be "asymmetrical". About this, Reuters have told two American officials on the conditions of anonymity. US officials believe that Russia's response to a spider web surgery is likely to become serious and multilateral, and is expected within a few days. The retribution will probably include UAV attacks and rockets.

The agency emphasizes that officials spoke on the conditions of anonymity and did not detail the possible goals of Russia. At the same time, one of them stated that the real attack of Moscow is still ahead and it will be "asymmetrical". The diplomatic source has stated that Russia's response may have already begun, it will probably be exacerbated by strokes for symbolic Ukrainian purposes such as government buildings.

At the same time, the Russian expert of the Carnegie Foundation for the International Peace, Michael Kafman, expects Moscow to try to "punish" the SBU for its role in the attack on strategic aviation. "Most likely, they will try to strike in response to the headquarters (SBU) or other buildings of the regional intelligence administration," Kafman said, adding that Russia can also attack Ukrainian defense production centers using medium-range ballistic missiles.

At the same time, he suggested that Russia's retribution can be limited, since the Kremlin already directs most of its military capacity to Ukraine. We will remind, on June 1 drones of the Security Service of Ukraine struck on Russian aircraft A-50, TU-95 and TU-22 m3. Several military airfields were attacked. According to the results of the spider web special operation, the course of which was personally controlled by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 41 Russian aircraft was affected.

After that, on June 6, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine "Shahheda" and rockets, declaring "response" to the "terrorist attacks of the Kiev regime". At the same time, Defense Express resource analysts reported that for the attack of the Russian Federation raised only 7 strategic bombers, and the maximum loaded. The Kremlin's "retribution", according to them, only confirmed the available problems with aviation.
