The Unfolding Drone Warfare Between Ukraine and Russia.

Russia is facing a series of humiliating incidents, including a drone attack in Moscow and cross-border incursions by Russian militias claiming to fight against the Putin regime. The incidents come at a time of heightened anxiety for Russia, as its offensive in the Donbas has stalled and Ukraine has begun a series of probing attacks in the east and south while shelling Russian targets behind the lines using new, longer-range Western missiles. The incidents have had a devastating psychological effect on Russia, with the mood on propaganda talk shows tilting toward defeatism and some members of Russia’s extreme nationalist right directly attacking Putin for his supposed indecision.
