Ukraine has been working on its own missile programme and drones for a long time now, so hitting targets in Russian territory, even if they are located 1,500 km away, is no longer a problem, says Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council.

Quote: “The origin of the weapons being used on the territory of the Russian Federation is Ukrainian. There are two areas that have been under development for a certain period of time: the missile programme, which was approved back in 2020, aimed at creating our own Ukrainian missiles, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, [the production of which – ed.] is being deployed very extensively in our country today with the involvement of a large number of private companies.”

Details: Danilov added that “all this will yield the appropriate results,” because Ukrainian troops will now be able to hit targets located 700 or even 1,000-1,500 km away.

Danilov stressed, however, that Ukraine only attacks military facilities of the Russian Federation. The bombing of oil refineries or other facilities is the work of Russian partisans whom Ukraine does not control.

“We attack either factories or military production, i.e. the components that are killing our children. We must put an end to this,” Danilov concluded.

Background:

  • Earlier, the Russian news agency Vyorstka analysed reports by the Russian Ministry of Defence, the media and OSINT researchers, and came to the conclusion that since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainian special services and armed forces may have carried out at least nine successful attacks on airbases in Russian regions, temporarily occupied Crimea and Belarus, and destroyed or damaged at least 24 aircraft.
  • Journalists also estimate that there have been over 190 drone attacks on the territory of Russia and temporarily occupied Crimea since the beginning of the year. The strikes carried out on the night of 29-30 August in six regions of the Russian Federation were the most extensive in 2023.

  1. This is getting better all the time. A range of 1500 km is awesome and it will create big headaches for the mafiosi in moscow. Where will they hide their bombers now?

    “We attack either factories or military production, i.e. the components that are killing our children. We must put an end to this,”

    If the West is too gutless to help Ukraine with this vital task, then Ukraine must do so by itself.

  2. The orcs are getting so desperate, they have removed all air defences and antique tanks from the Kuril Islands. If Japan want them back then there will be nothing to stop them.

  3. “We attack either factories or military production, i.e. the components that are killing our children. We must put an end to this,” Danilov concluded.”

    How about adding :

    “You nazi pigs have deliberately murdered thousands of our children. We hate you forever. We note also that your verminous supporters laugh and joke on your shit social media whenever you murder our children.
    Unlike you, we are civilised, but be advised: you murder just one more child of ours and we will inflict the same horrors on you that you did to us.”

    • It would be pure justice if Ukraine started its own bombing campaign against schools, hospitals, kindergartens, and apartment buildings. But, we know what an ocean of tears this would conjure up in various capital cities and worthless international organizations.

      • That would never be correct or pure justice. That would be lowering Ukraine to Russia’s level and becoming the same evil.
        It shouldn’t and will not happen.
