Putin Panics as Drones Slam Crimea & Russia - Jason Jay Smart



Putin just suffered another staggering humiliation - on Russian soil.

In a single night, Ukraine launched its largest drone strike of the war, slamming targets across Russia’s heartland.

Confirmed: the oil depot at Sochi Airport - used by both civilians and the military - is on fire.

But it gets worse for Moscow: The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced it attacked the Saky Airbase in Crimea. According to initial reports, five Russian military aircraft were damaged or destroyed:
1 Su-30SM destroyed
1 Su-30SM damaged
3 Su-24s damaged

This was a coordinated, multi-domain attack - targeting Russia’s oil, air, rail, nuclear, and psychological defenses.

And now, even Moscow insiders are signaling what they once denied:

The liberation of Crimea may be underway.
