#Russian Missile Attacks

Media outlets often frame Russia’s June attacks as revenge for Operation Spider Web, in which Ukraine destroyed dozens of Moscow’s strategic bomber jets. But this claim doesn’t hold up against the data: Kremlin orders missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities every single day , steadily growing in scale.

Ukraine’s June 9 deep strike on the Savasleyka airbase in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region has not only damaged valuable Russian aircraft—it may have dealt a serious blow to Moscow’s ability to field MiG-31K jets equipped for Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.
