From a military point of view, the strikes on the Kremlin are more symbolic, the expert believes.

The day before, information about the deployment of air defense systems around Moscow appeared on social media , and the Defense Forces could not help but take advantage of this.

Ivan Tymochko, a military expert and chairman of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stated this on Channel 24. “The appearance of drones in the Moscow region is no coincidence. According to unconfirmed reports, this was a preemptive strike by the Ukrainians, aimed at preparing the Russians for a massive missile and drone strike. If this is indeed confirmed, it would indicate the very high level of professionalism of our structures, from intelligence to the response forces to such challenges,” Tymochko said.

He called the events in Moscow on the evening of October 26 “epic” and added that the Russians approached the drone attack “without any underestimation of the situation.”

“If they [mobile groups, – UNIAN] have deployed them there, then they can’t rule out the possibility of UAVs flying into the Kremlin. Of course, this would be more of a symbolic blow, since their decision-making centers are likely located elsewhere. But in terms of the international political situation, this is a very serious blow to Putin. Especially now, when they’re trying to lift US sanctions and demonstrate their strength and influence. Therefore, even the theoretical appearance of Ukrainian UAVs near the Kremlin is a very explosive information bomb,” Tymochko explained.Read also:

  1. Also, the more air defense systems they place around Moscow, the fewer there are available to protect other targets.
