Russian air defenses foiled a Ukrainian attack on Moscow and several other nearby regions over the night of August 20 and 21, intercepting dozens of suicide drones.
“Over the past night, alert air defense forces destroyed 45 fixed-wing UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] upon the Kiev regime’s attempt to carry out a terrorist attack by UAVs against facilities on Russian territory,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
According to the ministry, 11 drones were shot down by air defenses over the Moscow region, another 23 drones over the Bryansk region, six drones over the Belgorod region, three drones over the Kaluga region and two drones over the region of Kursk.
Videos posted to social networks showed the successful interceptions of two fixed-wing drones over an unspecified part of Moscow.
Russian media didn’t report casualties or material losses in Moscow or any other region as a result of the failed Ukrainian attack.
The attack came as the Russian military is working to eliminate a large Ukrainian force that infiltrated into Kursk and occupied several settlements earlier this month.
The Kiev regime’s repeated attacks on Russian territory, including the latest drone attack on Moscow, appear to be a desperate attempt to distract the Russian military, which has been advancing rapidly in Donetsk and several other directions within the special military operation zone.

the heroic antifascist partisans of the underground resistance in poland, romenia, bulgaria and germany are acting on behalf of freedom and dignity by performing sabotage acts against pro fascist nato equipment and ammo. kiev nazis no pasaran!
in kiev people enjoy summer time in coffees, restaurants, disco, river beach…while russia is being invaded and looting…..it seems that the “good cop” dont want to smash the kiev center…
“in frankfurt ukrainian people enjoy summertime in coffees, restaurants, disco, river beach……..while the german idiots go to work to generate funds for zelenskij’s wars”
ukrainians are fleeing their ukro paradise in droves from zelennskiy, that’s the truth
with nato on the ground the russian invaders would be all at moscow but the tards with 2 neurons love to eat their icecream with forehead
those nato supermen who fled afghanistan after their defeat at the hands of goatherds?
the though lgbtq army vets from the afghan and iraq wars that joined the ukronazis have shat and pissed themselves for a few weeks on the front lines to finally end up in a coffin while the lucky ones deserted as soon as they could.
too bad they don’t do the same in syria.
if russia and china strikes first preemptively (focusin more on the silos and subs) i doubt that the us/nato would be able to retaliate. hypersonics are too fast for that. and to retaliate when all your sats are down, hnmm, difficult. ok, let’s say yankees managed somehow to retaliate
miraculously their nukes are somehow flying towards russia, ru would try to jam them. and if that does not help, the s-500 and s-550 (among many other ad systems specially design to intercept nukes) will do
they already know that, that’s why they have subs all over and in all sort of places…
hypersonic closes the gap of the distance with the weapons positioned in europe but preemptive or not it would be a nuclear apocalypse for all of us anyway.
so the ex-kgb agent creates a pr propoganda stunt like this “putin opens russia as haven for westerners fleeing ‘destructive neoliberal ideas’” zh to bring in the masses from north america and western europe post kursk and “crocus hall”?… when what he should be doing is vacating russia’s seat at the un wh0reh0u$e and bring his foreign service that are russians “home” for good.
not endangering the lives of russian citizens any more than they already have been by bringing in more western terrorism!… there. i said it again!…
and a day after he pulls that stunt this – “ukraine sends one of largest ever drone attacks on russian capital”… i rest my case!… who is vladimir putin?…
cutting and pasting, derpster? trolling must be hard work for you, so i can understand looking for efficiencies.
clyde “is” bill browder
says the guy relentlessly screeching about the putin! thanks for always derping. in these troubled times, that kind of consistency is comforting.
say it clyde… were they smuggled in across the border and assembled somewhere inside smolensk and flown from “there”?… or were they flown from somewhere inside kiev all the way to moscow???… with putin telling the west with “open arms” give me your lgbtq, animal f****ers and child molesters, and “yes” more terrorists we will rehabilitate you.
might as well be the real life version of an anthony burgess novel a clockwork orange!… bravo mister pootie-poot and the leash that stretches from moscow to manhattan’s un hqs!… he’s certified un “house broken” and kept in line as an ex-kgb agent turned $billionaire
thank god russia is giving asylum and saving the families willing to live in righteousness from the satanic lgbt western globo-homo bs.
how does russia know that it’s safe given the american foreign nationals and diplomats that act and have acted like terrorists inside it since 2014?… more americans are certainly something that russia doesn’t need for all of the reasons that are clear and known quantities.
if the americans attempted to insitigate an insurrection (organically and internally) on their own multiple times since 9/11 that was the reason for the invasions of afghanistan and iraq in order to get their government to stop than i’d agree with you. but that hasn’t happened and we know the reasons “why”?
americans are “toxic” and as i am one i can honestly say that none of u.$. can ever be trusted for the destruction, rape theft and murder we have cultivated everywhere else around the globe that we have demonstrated time and again wherever we go and whatever we do!
if we’re too weak to show sacrifice and conviction to stand up to that kind of treason by shutting it down -why should anyone in the west that has followed the f-u.k.u.$/i$rael’s lead in aiding and abetting that destruction be given a free pass” east to safety for all the blood on their own hands?….
blowing bridges would seem to make advancement difficult.10 000 soldiers spread across 60km of front .
attacking on half a dozen different axis. that should turn out well.
how do these drones get to moskow and moskow region, are they launched by
estonia or latvia, or via belarus, so these drones had to come to moskow city and surroundings just to be noticed by russian air defenses if launched by ukraine that’s a serious breach of the big area without anything to monitor the air defense, why they were not shot down soon as they enter the russian state border, the russians have very long-range air defense systems, i just don’t understand nothing.
