Frontline Breach Now Hits Moscow - Jason Jay Smart

[TexasTowelie]

This war is no longer staying near the front. Strikes are now reaching deeper into Russia, hitting the rear areas Moscow depends on to keep factories running, freight moving, and internal security intact while the fighting continues elsewhere.

The bigger story is not one damaged site. The bigger story is that Russia’s rear is becoming part of the battlefield. Once that happens, the Kremlin faces a harder problem: protecting territory far from the front while keeping war production moving and persuading Russians that control has not slipped.

If that pressure keeps moving deeper into Russia, the damage will spread far beyond a single facility. It will show up in stretched air defenses, industrial disruption, transport bottlenecks, and a growing political burden for Moscow. How does the Kremlin keep telling people this war is distant when it is landing closer to home?

1. ukraine seems reluctant to strike moscow while kviv is attacked every day

not sure why.

2. I think it might be the amount of air defense that is available around Moscow.

Ukraine has a much higher success rate with the drone attacks in areas that are not as heavily fortified. I doubt that Russia has any location in Ukraine that they don't consider as a "target" -- legitimate or not.
