Russia Worried About Air Defense Vulnerability After Ukraine Strikes: UK
The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense (MOD) has assessed that Russian leaders are likely concerned about how the country's air defenses "continue to be compromised" by drone attacks. The assessment comes after a May 3 strike by several uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Russia's Seshcha Airbase, which is located approximately 93 miles north of the Ukrainian border. The Kremlin has accused Ukraine of being responsible for other attacks on Russian soil, most notably an alleged assassination attempt of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a failed drone strike earlier this month.
