  1. Two years ago, the AFU didn’t have the means to conduct strikes reaching further than maybe 300 km or so, and even those were very limited (Hrim-2 prototypes, based on Tochka-U). The progress that has been made since then is very impressive. Slava Ukraine, insheneram slava!

  2. I was wondering how wise this was, having read comments following the strike on the Belbek Air Base in the Crimea. (I’m not suggesting it shouldn’t have been done; I’m just wondering what ruSSia’s reaction will be if their long-range target detection radar stations keep getting hit.)

    Here’s an article making the same point:

    The alarm has been raised in the West following a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian radar facility in Krasnodar, which is used for tracking nuclear missiles. This site also forms part of Russia’s nuclear warning system, a critical component of its national defense. The strike has sparked criticism from experts, who question the wisdom of targeting nuclear infrastructure amid heightened tensions. Hans Kristensen, a nuclear arsenal expert, expressed that it was “not a wise decision on the part of Ukraine,” noting the distinction between hitting military sites used for direct assaults and those pivotal for nuclear deterrence.
