Russian forces have conducted overnight strikes on a Ukrainian airfield in the western Rovno Region. The strikes are part of Moscow’s retaliation for Ukrainian “terrorist attacks” against Russian air forces.

Last week, Ukrainian intelligence services claimed to have delivered a significant blow to Russian air power by bombing airfields deep inside the country with short-range first person view drones launched from concealed compartments in freight cars. ‘

Moscow has accused Kiev of seriously exaggerating the effect of the operation.

The Russian military has framed several of its recent operations as retaliation for the drone plot as well as the deadly derailment of a passenger train which occurred on the same day.

Investigators have said forensic evidence unequivocally linked the incident to Kiev’s broader efforts to sabotage civilian transport infrastructure and demoralize the Russian public.

The latest retaliation strikes included an attack on an airfield near the town of Dubno, as well as the bombing of Ukrainian weapons plants, locations where Ukrainian kamikaze drones were being assembled, munition depots, and other military targets.

Earlier in the day, the ministry reported that overnight Russian air defense forces had intercepted 79 Ukrainian kamikaze drones, which Kiev launches daily against targets deep inside Russia.

One such recent operation caused a major blackout in the border Kursk Region, according to local authorities. Ukraine claimed that Russia used hyper-sonic air-launched Kinzhal rockets to strike the Dubno airfield, but Moscow did not specify the weapons involved.

Kiev reportedly stations some Western-donated nuclear capable F-16 fighter jets in Rovno Region alongside its Soviet legacy warplanes.

Bomb the Ukrainian military back to the Stone Age. It’s time to crush the ability of Ukraine to defend itself. The Kiev regime must be all killed and replaced with a friendly regime to Russia. Enough is enough and this experiment has gone on far too long.

Why don’t the Russians destroy the railways that run from the EU to Ukraine? What are they waiting for?
