Head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Budanov, says key advantage of long-range strikes into Russia is psychological one: “breaking the Russian people’s belief in that they lived in a safe and powerful country.”



Since West still hasn’t approved use of long-range missiles to strike Russia, Ukraine has to dip into its limited pool of long-range drones to strike industrial and military targets. The social-psychological effect of these strikes on russian society is also significant.

Budanov: It has changed the outlook as it has had a serious effect on the social-psychological situation because, before that, the entire Russian population lived in the paradigm which made them say: ‘No matter what, we are a very powerful country, we are the strongest in the world.’

  1. I’m worried this will only reinforce their victimization but at the same time the Russian military cannot attack with impunity. If they hit targets which will affect civilians such as taking airports offline and such, won’t the propaganda just say this is evidence the war is justified? I just don’t see these fools waking up. They will double down on their bullshit. Am I missing something that they know better?

  2. It’s also that they can’t expect to attack someone elses country for no reason and not expect there to be consequences that affect them. Maybe they can realise fully what they are doing to someone else if it happens to them. Although Ukraine are kinder in that they only attack military or logistic targets deliberately and areas of low damage currently. Russia haven’t cared what targets they hit whether it be schools, hospitals or civilian areas. Russia deserve to feel some effect.

  3. Ukraine will have to build its own. The West cannot be relied on to provide timely appropriate weapons.

  4. It’s coming home…. 🚀

    Edit: when’s the drone emoticon coming? Kinda needed? Please and thanks.
