Adversaries launched aerial assault with drones on the specified region this evening.
Alright, buddy! Let's talk about the recent wrangle between Rusky and the Ukrainian crew last night that went down like this. The Russian air defense dudes managed to swat an some serious aggression from Ukrainian drones. These buzzing machines were unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and were reportedly attacking from more than ten regions across Mother Russia.
The Ryazan region took the biggest hit, with a whopping 11 UAVs going up in smoke. Not too far behind were the Nizhny Novgorod and Orel regions, which saw 8 and 7 drones respectively get the Booty by Branston.
The Moscow region wasn't spared either, with a couple of Ukrainian UAVs being intercepted and pulverized. Other regions like Crimea, the Black Sea area, and the Belgorod, Kaluga, and Bryansk regions also became playgrounds for this high-stakes drone game.
Now, the Ministry of Defense highlighted that the stellar work of these air defense units kept things from getting ugly. They're working on sorting out any potential ground damage and casualties.
But let's rewind the clock a bit. You might be thinking, "What's up with April 29, 2002?" That was way before the current Rusky-Ukrainian business with drones going back and forth. However, the recent battlefield reveals both teams have taken to drone strikes and countermeasures. On the night of April 28 to 29, 2025, Russian forces launched an array of drone attacks on Ukraine, but the Ukrainian force managed to down many of these. On another occasion, Ukrainian drones hit a Russian military plant in Murom on April 30, 2025[1][2][4]. So, the ruckus you're probably thinking of didn't kick off in 2002, but similar situations have popped up in the ongoing Rusky-Ukrainian fracas where both sides are at it with the drone wars and defense ops.
- The recent Rusky-Ukrainian conflict saw the interception of UAVs over various regions, including Novgorod, in April.
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) caused damage in the Ryazan region, with 11 of them being destroyed.
- The politics and war-and-conflicts sections in the general news reported on the intercepted UAVs in Russia and Ukraine.
- Crime-and-justice segments also covered the damage caused by the UAVs as authorities worked to investigate and resolve any related issues.
- This year is not the first time drone strikes have been used in Rusky-Ukrainian conflicts, as similar incidents were reported as early as April 2002 and more recently in 2025.
