“The drones flying (into Russian territory) are not yet the turning point, and I think there’s more to come,” he said.

“Since Ukraine has many developments because it is Ukraine that has developed a fairly effective aiming system, which has no equivalent in Central Europe. In fact, it gives us hope that we’ll have many more opportunities to destroy the enemy.”

The drone explosion in Russia’s Tula Oblast is only the beginning of confirmation of ideas expressed by Generals Valerii Zaluzhnyi and Mykhailo Zabrodskyi in an article last September, said Musienko.

“I just want to remind you that there was an article last September written by Generals Zaluzhnyi and Zabrodskyi about increasing capabilities in 2023 to be able to strike enemy military facilities on the territory of Russia — not only in the operational rear, but also on the territory (deep inside) of Russia,” the expert said.

“And maybe now these facts are the increase in operational capabilities that they wrote about and counted on this year.”

“The enemy must understand that he will not be able to hide and be completely safe even on the territory of Russia, as long as he’s waging war against Ukraine.”

A huge explosion rang across the Russian town of Kireevsk in Tula Oblast on the afternoon of March 26, rattling windows and setting off car alarms.

Soon photos and footage appeared on social media of a five-meter-wide crater at what was said to be the impact site of an unidentified drone.

Other footage circulating on social media showed a local resident with what appears to be fragments of the drone.

Later Russia’s emergency services said that a drone with an explosive warhead had caused the blast.
