Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Thursday that his country has developed a long-range weapon that can hit targets up to 400 miles away, signaling potential responsibility for a strike on a Russian airport near Estonia on Wednesday.
The Wednesday strikes hit targets in four regions all over southern Russia, as well as Moscow and the airport in Pskov.
Pskov is about 400 miles from the Ukrainian border. Russia says that Ukraine is responsible for the attacks, while the country has not claimed responsibility.
Four military transport planes were destroyed in the Pskov strike, Russian media said. There was no damage or casualties reported by Russian media in the other strikes Wednesday.

Ukraine has developed long-range weapon.............
Yes it’s called a ‘telephone’. Zelenskyy calls and Biden jumps.......................
(((YAWN)))
Party at Zelenskyy’s favorite homo bar tonight!
“Intz, intz, intz!”
Are they “long range” enough to point them at our southern border?
Before Ukraine takes out the Kremlin and/or Lenin’s tomb, please remove the courtesy of the US Taxpayer sticker on this “long range” weapon.
Just connecting the dots … the more concerning news is Ukraine has been attacking targets in Russia. It’s not that I blame them, I would too if I were a Ukrainian general. But here are some needed facts and context as warmongers in the U.S. ramp up their rhetoric and march to direct involvement of U.S. troops. Russia has 300k troops held in reserve. Russia has well established supply lines to the battlefield in Ukraine. Ukraine has already attacked targets on Russian soil. If the U.S. enters the war our generals will attack Russian supply lines and troops in Russia. We won’t be fighting some pissant Afghani or Iraqi force. Russia will attack America troops and weapons manufacturing facilities on U.S. soil. They have that capability and will use it.
Well, Russia has 11 time zones, so Z better compare strategic depth if he wants a Russian war instead of an SMO
Every time Ukraine sends an attack into Russia, it supports Putin’s position that the entire military and political regime of Ukraine must be destroyed and replaced, not just in the eastern oblasts
Thus far Putin still seems to believe the Ukes themselves will have to upend their corrupt hate-driven ultranationalist infliltrated govt, and refrains from flattening Kiev
The 300k in reserve speaks to that, as does establishing a defensive lines and posture. Why did Russia cease offensive operations? Answer that question and you have a better understanding of Russia’s intent. Actions should speak louder than state propaganda.
The purpose of these weapons are:
- Isolate the battlefield, specifically the Zaporozhia-Kherson regions held by Russia. And the Crimea too, if possible.
- Make Russia abandon airfields within weapons range. This will hamper Russian use of its aerial superiority, and maybe also hamper its cruise missile attacks.
- Make political difficulties for the Russian leadership.
I think the Ukrainians are perfectly capable of taking back everything west of Melitopol, given the geography and their ability to isolate this region. After that, it is more questionable.
And given that the Russians seem to have already thrown their final reserve, the elite VDV, into the trench lines at Robotyne, I doubt very much that they have a strategic reserve available.
“Ukraine has developed long-range weapon.............

Comment of the day!
It is obvious. They could not support them, and they were getting hammered.
“ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Thursday that his country has developed a long-range weapon that can hit targets up to 400 miles away…”

Good, then THEY NEED NO FURTHER AMERICAN FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
Nah, they just want their Russia-in-drag slav brothers demilitarized and with a new Realpolitik govt that is not owned by the western MIC and the Straussians like Nuland/Nudelman
A buffer zone marked by the Dnieper may be sufficient, but if Z keeps taking US money, NATO training, and British intelligence and Spec Ops advice, then Ukraine may just end up as a landlocked rump state
Keep your champagne on ice!
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Thursday that his country has developed a long-range weapon that can hit targets up to 400 miles away”
It’s called a “van” and you load up a bunch of drones into it, drive it 390 miles, and then launch your drones ten miles away from the target.
“Why did Russia cease offensive operations?”
If it is of any consolation Russia’s supporters are still very offensive!
you keep forgetting, 1 year ago, Vlady - in a childish fit of spite - cut off gas to Europe, thinking a desperate Europe would immediately end their support and come crawling back to Russia
oops, didn’t happen ... now Russia is shut out of European energy markets, and got a $150 annual revenue hole from lost sales
so Russia has to withdraw $150 billion from their savings every year to cover the hole ... but Russia only had $800 billion in 2022
so time is working against Russia ... the longer this drags on, the poorer Russia gets
and it looks like this could drag on for a very long time ...
