russian media reported that in the early morning of september 7, local time, the ukrainian army launched a long-range drone attack on multiple targets in russia. among them, an ammunition depot in soldatske village, voronezh oblast, russia, was hit and exploded violently. the local government evacuated nearby residents. video footage recorded four fires in the ammunition depot and continuous explosions of ammunition, which lasted until the next day. sbu sources confirmed this statement.

the ammunition depot is only 130 kilometers from the ukrainian border. andriy kovalenko, head of the ukrainian center for combating disinformation, confirmed: "an ammunition depot in soldatskoye, voronezh region, was hit."

he pointed out that the ammunition depot stored missiles provided by north korea to russia and has now been destroyed, "the same fate awaits iranian missiles." although the ballistic missiles provided by north korea, such as kn-23 and kn-24, are not very accurate, russia cannot ask for too much, it is good enough to have them.

there are claims that iran is about to provide ballistic missiles to russia. however, iran's previous overtures to ukraine on ukraine's independence day and its hope that europe would restrain the united states and israel from attacking it have determined that iran is far less straightforward than north korea in providing missiles to russia. north korea does not care because it has already been sanctioned by the united states.

this means that in the event that the united states refuses to lift the atacms to strike the russian mainland, ukraine continues to use its own long-range weapons to strike these russian targets, especially supply and areas close to ukraine.

the biden administration’s reason for not lifting the strike restrictions on atacms is a bit funny. u.s. secretary of defense austin may also feel embarrassed, so he praised ukraine extremely, saying, "ukraine itself already has a strong offensive capability and can attack targets beyond the range of atacms or storm shadow. the russians have moved their aircraft out of the range of atacms, and our focus is to help the ukrainians protect their territory more effectively."

so, what are you doing when russia hasn't moved yet? no wonder the lithuanian foreign minister said that the west protects russian airspace more than ukrainian airspace. as for effectively protecting ukraine's territory, isn't it the best way to destroy russian military weapons farther away?

ukraine does have drones with a longer range than atacms or storm shadow, and the range of the drone missiles it manufactures may also reach more than 400 kilometers, but its strike power cannot be compared with these two missiles. if the biden administration does not want to provide assistance, then don't provide assistance. it has so many excuses. fortunately, ukraine needs the united states more than israel. if it were israel, it would have been impatient to criticize biden long ago.

at the ramstein conference, although germany provided 12 howitzers and the netherlands provided 77 leopard 1 tanks, it continued to refuse ukraine's request to provide long-range missiles to strike the russian mainland. britain did not refuse, but it was obvious that it followed the united states and no longer had the leadership style it had in the conservative government era.
