The war between Ukraine and Russia crept closer to Moscow when a Kamikaze drone operated by Ukraine crash landed within 60 miles (100 kilometers) of Russia’s capital.

The fact that the drone (which according to the Kremlin, was launched and controlled by Ukraine), was able to penetrate Russian air defenses and early warning systems, as well as prompt the closure of the airspace over St Petersburg during the incident has drawn the ire of President Putin. The incident has prompted the Russian President to order increased levels of alertness and protection at border areas.

Although the drone caused no damage or casualties the abortive attack was one of many drone strikes successful and unsuccessful that have become common in Russia’s South, West and regions bordering Ukraine.
In keeping with past practice Ukraine has not commented on the drone attacks – nor claimed responsibility.

Adding to the growing concerns of the Russian authorities, an air raid warning interrupted programming at a number of Russia’s television channels. The country’s Emergency Ministry issued a statement saying that the alarm was a hoax caused by hostile hackers’ “targeting servers of radio stations and TV channels in some regions of the country.”

The response to the drone attacks from Russian pro-war Hawks was quick. Igor Korotchenko, a retired Russian army colonel and active military commentator called for strikes on the Ukrainian Presidential office in Kiev, a sentiment echoed by other Russian Milbloggers.
