The Moscow Tmes writes about “headache” for Kremlin after a successful attack Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle on the premises Republic of Dagestan. This is one of the autonomous areas of the Russian state, located on the border with Georgia.
The distance covered by the drone is impressive. The city of Kaspiysk – target of the attack – is located 1,500 km from the border Ukrainy. Kyiv decided destroy enemy ships moored in a port on the Caspian Sea.
Ukrainian intelligence services reported that two targets were damaged on November 6. These are warships: Tatarstan and Dagestan.
War in Ukraine. Kyiv attacked a Russian port
Moscow was supposed to be greatly surprised by the scale of the enemy's attack. Apparently, the Russians did not take the announcement of the head of Ukrainian military intelligence seriously Kyrylo Budanov. This indicated that domestically produced drones may have them range up to 1,800 km.
Russian war bloggers took notice poor response system. At the time of the shelling, neither the civil defense systems nor the announcements issued by the Ministry of Emergency Situations were activated.
Photos and recordings from the Ukrainian attack quickly circulated the Internet. This happened despite the appeal of the leader of Dagestan.
Dagestan. A problematic region for the Kremlin
Dagestan is a region that keeps you awake at night Vladimir Putin. There are often protests there and people take to the streets because they lack water or electricity.
Meanwhile The Kremlin willingly sends Dagestani men to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The region clearly leads in mortality statistics on the front. As a result the inhabitants rebel against further mobilizations.
Therefore, the Ukrainian strike there may be a second meaningleading to the strengthening of anti-Russian sentiments in the autonomous republic.
