Helicopter Shot Down Inside Russia - Jason Jay Smart

[TexasTowelie]

Ukraine has brought the war deep inside Russia. A long range Ukrainian FPV drone located and destroyed a Russian Mi 8 helicopter flying far from the front. The strike happened inside Rostov Oblast and shows that Russian airspace is no longer secure.

The same night a major power plant near Moscow was hit by a drone. The Shatura energy facility burned for hours as Russian officials reported intercepting seventy five drones and suspending operations at Zhukovsky Airport. These new deep strikes highlight a growing weakness in Russian air defense coverage across the Moscow region.

At the same time Russian railway troops sabotaged their own military train in Rostov on Don. They set fire to an electric locomotive carrying ammunition and joined the ATESH partisan network. Their message was simple. They were done fighting a war for a system that refuses to pay them.

These three events reveal a larger pattern. Ukraine is expanding strike options inside Russian territory. Russian infrastructure is becoming a repeated target. Morale inside Russian units is deteriorating. Moscow is struggling to protect its rear while trying to maintain offensive pressure in Ukraine.

This video examines the new deep strike phase of the war. It explains how these attacks force Russia to move air defense systems away from the frontline. It shows the growing role of sabotage inside Russia and why the Kremlin is losing control of its own territory. It also evaluates the long term impact of these attacks on Russian logistics, power facilities, military aviation, and overall war planning.
