Russians deploy air defence to Crimea and front line, leaving rest of Russia empty
Pravda Ukraine
Yurii Ihnat, the spokesman for the Air Force, has said that the Russians deployed air defence systems to Crimea and the front line but had withdrawn them from other regions of Russia.

Quote: “The fact that they filled up the line of contact with it is 100% true, and the fact that Crimea is full of it is 200% true. But you see that the rest of the Russian territory does not have so many air defence systems.
It’s basically empty there. Moscow, St Petersburg, Putin’s bunkers will be more or less protected, but Ukrainian-made drones are capable of reaching Moscow, St Petersburg and other oil depots. This is a very good sign.
They [the Russians] feel the bitter taste of war increasingly. The Russians thought that ‘the special military operation [as Russia calls the war against Ukraine – ed.] was going according to plan’ and that the war would not affect them. Now it affects everyone. Unfortunately, we have been getting it for the past two years – fires, destruction and death. Now they will get it too…
I would like a million Ukrainian drones to fly and erase all of them to the Urals, but we understand that the possibilities are not unlimited for us and our partner countries.”
