On the night of May 7, Ukrainian forces launched another large-scale attack targeting multiple Russian regions, including Moscow, Crimea, and key industrial facilities. Despite the intensity of the assault, Russian air defenses successfully intercepted the majority of targets, though some drones reportedly managed to strike critical infrastructure.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is yet to release the official report about the intercepted drones and missiles, but the local reports help to reveal the main targets of Ukrainian night attacks. Russian air defense systems were reportedly active across multiple regions, including Kursk, Oryol, Kaluga, Ryazan, and Crimea.

Sirens again sounded in Sevastopol in Crimea. According to local monitoring sources, several UAVs were shot down over the peninsula, and the Ukrainian military reportedly launched Neptune missiles that were destroyed. No damage was confirmed as a result of the strikes.

 

 

 

 

Moscow faced another drone assault, with Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirming the interception of at least seven UAVs approaching the capital.

One of the successful drone strikes was reported in the city of Saransk (Republic of Mordovia), where Ukrainian UAVs targeted the Optico-Volokonnye Sistemy plant—a key producer of fiber optics for Russian military drones. The facility had already been attacked once on April 5, but this time, the strike reportedly caused fires and possible damage.

Fiber-optic-guided drones are crucial for Russian forces, as they are immune to electronic warfare (EW) due to their wired control systems. The repeated strikes suggest Ukraine is systematically attempting to disrupt Russia’s drone production capabilities.

Unconfirmed reports also indicate a drone attack in Tula, likely targeting a facility involved in manufacturing multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). While details remain unclear, the strike aligns with Ukraine’s strategy of weakening Russia’s artillery production.

Ukrainian attacks appear aimed at mainly creating psychological and media impact ahead of key dates, testing Russian air defense responses, especially around Moscow, while only some strikes are aimed at disrupting critical military production

Despite the scale of the assault, most drones were intercepted, reinforcing Russia’s robust air defense network. However, the repeated strikes on key military plants highlight a vulnerability in protecting strategic industries.

the traitor putler destroyed syria and that is why i hope israel will seize it and incorporate it into israel. ukraine needs to wait until a democrat moves back into the white house. then ukraine take moscow and don’t forget to invite finland, because finland needs to take karelia.

putler sent the wahhabis to idlib by bus and left them all the cash. the idf, the druze, and ghassan alian will send the wahhabis to idlib on foot and seize all their money. even earlier, the idf will demand that jolani acknowledge that damascus is israeli, because it was israeli before it was wahhabi. in the end, the wahhabis will have syria as a city-state, as big as idlib.

as has been said russia is weak and will slowly be ground down, key installations slowly being taken out. planes being downed. ukraine are coming from all angles.even ukraine are attacking in small groups and crossing the border into russia with many russians being killed. don’t know why russia doesn’t have the border locked down completely guess again russia is weak and will not be able to complete 2 more years of war financially and militarily.

there was only one prototype and it was not very effective in deterring nato, the us, the uk and eu.

everytime the delusional one makes a ‘gesture’ russia gets kicked in the gut.
the lack of reaction to the coup in 2014 was the worse, but this parade crap is over the top too.

russian armed forces are powerful with better and efective weapons than nato, but the high command are incompetent, slow, lack of foresight and bureaucrat, we have seen how an small plane can fly hours during daylight to hit a sensitive industrial factory without a single mi 24 helicopter fly to intercept that drone over mordavia republic..

Cromwell

these are nato attacks it’s way past time putin treated them that way.

vi stanno facendo un sedere come porta capuana, avete un solo prototipo oreshnik, dopo 3 anni non riuscite a vincere il risultato è soldati morti mutilati, civili ammazzati e distruzione della russia siete guerrieri da pizzeria, nascondete per la vergogna. odessa non torna a casa.

520 missiles, drones, aircraft attack on russia in 24hrs. russia is in a match for her survival. impossible for russia to match that kind of onslaught. it’s only going to get worse for russia as the west, nato, us, eu and uk ramp up attack on russian territory since they know that there are no redlines anymore and there is nothing russia can do.

russia should have police/territorial defence with shoulder stinger ready if they want to defend against current and future drones.
