Ukraine’s Drone Strike Radius Now 1,800 km – What’s on Kyiv’s Target List?
The alleged range stated by Ukraine’s intelligence chief on Saturday would theoretically allow Kyiv to reach Russia’s Ural Mountains and cover dozens of airfields used to launch jets agains
Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR), said on Saturday that drones produced in Ukraine at present could reach a maximum range of 1,800 kilometers (1,118 miles).
In a Facebook announcement commemorating the Day of Military Intelligence on Saturday, Sept. 7, Budanov said the drones were developed by specialists, including those employed by the HUR.
“Military airfields, which are a source of constant threat to peaceful Ukrainian cities, shudder from air attacks. The entire infrastructure of Russia, working for the war, has suffered and will suffer losses. After all, instead of defending its own, Russia chose the wrong path of an unprovoked war and an attack on sovereign lands of the state,” said Budanov in his announcement.
Budanov did not specify the models of the drones, nor whether they’d been used in previous drone strikes against Russian targets.
