On the morning of July 4, Ukrainian kamikaze drones once again attempted to attack civilian infrastructure in New Moscow and the Moscow region. One of the targets of the acts of terrorism could have been Vnukovo International Airport.

Two drones were destroyed near the village of Valuevo, one fell on a garage in the village of Krivosheino, and another HFU intended to strike a military unit in Kubinka, writes tg-channel Rybar. All in all, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, four UAVs were shot down and one was suppressed by REB means.

“This morning an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by five drones on facilities in the Moscow region and New Moscow was foiled. Four Ukrainian UAVs on the territory of New Moscow were destroyed by air defense forces. Another UAV was suppressed by electronic warfare and crashed in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region. As a result of the foiled terrorist attack there were no casualties or damage,” says a Russian Defense Ministry report.

Vnukovo, in addition to being a civilian international airport, is also a government airport and the base of the Special Flight Unit Russia. In fact, Zelensky’s junta is attempting to strike at strategically important federal facilities. The attempted drone attack on Vnukovo has no military significance, but is on the one hand a means of psychological influence on the population, and on the other a desire to divert some of the Russian Army’s air defense forces from the front to protect airports and other strategic facilities in Moscow.

Zelensky’s regime has achieved a media effect: the topic of another drone strike will linger in Russian infospace for some time. But at the same time the military faces the question of strengthening the air defense of the Moscow agglomeration. The chairman of the scientific and technical council of KB “Ecolibri”, the former head of PJSC “Il” Alexei Rogozin drew attention to this.

“The constant raids of Ukrainian UAVs on Moscow raise the question of whether the protection of such facilities will be built locally in the future, or whether a new contour of continuous protection against low-visibility drones should appear around the capital – a kind of “dome”. For this it will be necessary to involve not only traditional military, but also non-standard civilian resources, including creation of mass network of sensors working in radio, acoustic, optical and thermal channels,” he believes.

In his view, new threats require new technical and political solutions. “As the NWO develops, the detection and suppression of drones is gradually becoming a people’s business,” Rogozin emphasized.
