According to Narozhny, this will be a very good moment for us to strike purely at military targets, and it is possible that even in Moscow.
The Russians lack air defense equipment, so bringing this equipment to Moscow for the security of the May 9 parade means that somewhere it will be taken off combat duty near some important military facility.
As military expert and founder of the “Reactive Mail” organization Pavlo Narozhnyi noted on Radio NV , this is a very convenient situation for Ukraine to strike purely at the enemy’s military targets, which will be “naked” due to the transfer of air defense systems to Moscow.
There is information that the Russians are pulling 280 air defense units to guarantee security during the May 9 parade in Moscow. In particular, from Kazan, Grozny. All of Moscow’s air defense will be built in several echelons.
Commenting on this, the general emphasized that our military does not shoot at civilians, so we should not expect strikes at the parade site, but at military facilities at this time – it is quite realistic.
“To simplify everything, there are three echelons – short-range, medium-range and long-range. The Russians lack all air defense systems. For example, long-range systems are the S-300 and S-400 systems that are in service with the Russian army. They need more than a thousand units to cover their territory. There are calculations – the need is for 1,200-1,300 units. And they have, at best, 2 hundred such systems,” the expert noted.
According to him, most of such systems are located in the territory of temporarily occupied Ukraine – the occupiers use them to cover their military facilities there. Narozny says:
“If they pull out 280 systems, of different ranges – and they transfer the Buk and whatever else there, it means that something will be exposed somewhere. That is, somewhere they will remove these systems from combat duty. And this means that for us it will simply be a very good moment to strike purely military targets – arsenals, military units, control points, anything we can reach. Airfields.”
Even if air defense systems shoot from objects far from Ukraine, we are still able to strike, and this is confirmed by the hit on the Russian arsenal, which was located 70 km from Moscow – drones were able to fly there.
“And drones are the least difficult target to shoot down. And we were able to strike. Imagine what would happen if most of these systems were transferred to Moscow. I am more than sure that something will explode somewhere… Drones flew over Grozny itself. I am more than sure that we will find (the places where the air defense systems were taken out),” Narozhny emphasized.
He also believes that even 280 air defense systems do not guarantee 100% protection for Moscow.
“Even if they completely cover Moscow, this does not mean that a single drone will not be able to reach some military target. Because covering Moscow is a huge object and 280 systems may not be enough. Therefore, to rule out and say that they completely protected Moscow even with such a large number of systems, I am more than sure that this is unrealistic to do,” Narozhny added.
Parade in Moscow on May 9
As UNIAN reported, a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, former commander of the company of the Aidar battalion Yevhen Dykyi also believes that on May 9, the Defense Forces of Ukraine are unlikely to strike at the parade in Moscow . He explained that Ukraine has all the technical capabilities to strike at Moscow on May 9. Moreover, Ukraine has every reason to strike at the columns during this parade, since this can be considered a military target. But Chinese leader Xi Jinping confirmed his participation in the parade.
As is known, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s proposal for a ceasefire on May 9. According to him, it is necessary for the fire to cease for at least 30 days.
The Head of State of Ukraine also said that “Ukraine cannot guarantee the safety of world leaders in Moscow on May 9.”

This is a great opportunity for Ukraine to inflict some serious damage on mafia land. Oil terminals and refineries need to be obliterated.
This opportunity should be grabbed by the balls with gauntlets! The chance to annihilate mafia ammo and oil depots, airfields, refineries, and so forth is worth not to attack the fascist parade. Well, a few drones should take part to put some boom in the muscovy skies and remind everyone there that they have a war.
If military targets become unprotected, Ukraine should of course take advantage of that. But they should also send some love towards Moscow. Even if they want to use all their real attacks elsewhere, a shitload of dummy drones would cause russia to expend lots of air defense missile pointlessly. (And debris from those missiles could cause a lot of collateral damage.)
