Summary

For the first time, Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russian navy vessels in the Caspian Sea, striking the port city of Kaspiysk, far from the front lines.

Footage shared by Ukrainian authorities shows drones targeting Russian ships, with antiaircraft fire in the background. Russia’s Dagestan governor confirmed one drone was intercepted.

This attack marks another setback for the Russian navy, which has suffered heavy losses in the Black Sea due to Ukraine’s asymmetrical tactics.

Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capability has enabled recent attacks on key Russian military sites.

    Sending US arms to Ukraine is less about Ukraine than it is giving money to the US arms manufacturers. I’m sure those influential military industrial complex fat cats will find ways to keep the cash flowing - even if they have funnel it through someone else.

      I’m glad you’re sure, but from other responses, it doesn’t sound like European nations agree with you and they are working to fill the gap.
