Deutsche Welle (Deutsch)State / PublicCenterFactual 85Objective 6017 days ago How permeable is the Russian air defense?The article discusses recent Ukrainian drone attacks that have bypassed Russian air defense systems, striking critical infrastructure both in occupied Crimea and deep within Russia, including Moscow. On June 18, drones hit multiple targets across Moscow, causing significant damage such as setting fire to an oil refinery supplying 40% of the region's fuel and temporarily closing the country's largest airport. The incident sparked debate over weaknesses in Russia's defensive capabilities, with social media footage suggesting the air defenses were ineffective. However, some analysts argue that while most drones were intercepted, the few that got through caused substantial damage. Pro-Kremlin bloggers are calling for radical reforms in Russia's military-industrial complex, though they remain skeptical about their feasibility. Analysts like Ruslan Leviev dispute claims of systemic weakness, noting that over 90% of the drones were intercepted, but the scale of the attack highlights challenges for both sides in countering mass drone strikes.

Deutsche Welle (English)State / PublicCenterFactual 70Objective 6518 days ago Are Ukraine drones really exposing gaps in Russia's defense?Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted critical infrastructure in Moscow, raising concerns about vulnerabilities in Russia's air defense system.
