Russians Panicking after Ukraine Drone Strikes in Russia - Jason Jay Smart



In July 2025, Ukrainian forces launched a wave of long-range drone attacks deep into Russia, striking both military and civilian targets with unprecedented precision. Six Russian regions were hit in a single night—from the Izhevsk Defense Plant, essential for cruise missile production, to Sheremetyevo Airport, Russia’s busiest hub, which was forced to shut down for seven hours.

These strikes mark a historic escalation in Ukraine’s strategic drone campaign, proving that no region of Russia is beyond reach. Civilian airports in Saratov, Samara, and Ulyanovsk suspended flights, stranding over 80,000 passengers and exposing the Kremlin’s failing air defenses.

This video reveals how Ukraine’s drones disrupted military supply lines, paralyzed transport hubs, and ignited panic among Russian travelers. As drone incursions stretch from Belgorod to Moscow, the conflict has entered a new phase—where Russian civilians are no longer bystanders.

Watch to see how Ukraine’s drone strategy is reshaping the entire war—and why the Kremlin can no longer protect its own cities.

I've lost my source for donating. Not a ton of money, but I want it to go where it can be most helpful.
