Ukraine may have a chance to reshape this war — if it can solve its wartime production challenges.
Earlier this week, two airbases deep inside Russia were struck by explosions. Several Russian strategic bombers were damaged.
While Ukraine has not claimed responsibility, most observers and analysts agree that these were most likely attacks carried out by Ukrainian drones — something that was confirmed to several publications by anonymous sources in the Ukrainian government.
If so, it demonstrates that Ukraine has succeeded at making long-range weapons that can reach hundreds of kilometers into Russian territory and that Russia’s air defense cannot reliably stop them.
If these attacks can be scaled up and repeated, Ukraine can inflict very costly damage on Russia’s strategic targets, while taxing its insufficient defenses to their limits. That would force Moscow to rethink how it fights its war and make its attempt at conquest even harder.
It can also possibly snipe Russian planes and missiles before they’re used against Ukraine.
"If (Russians) have to wake up in the middle of the night because they heard explosions, that's going to be a different type of war," said Samuel Bendett, an adviser with think tank CNA.
But multiple obstacles are likely to limit how many long-range weapons Ukraine can manufacture and use, military experts believe. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to +++++relevant+++++ and related stories:
