On Monday 5th December, Ukraine launched a pair of adapted Soviet-era Tu-141 Strizh Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) at two airbases within Russia.
One struck Dyagilevo Air Force Base in Ryazan Oblast, a training center for Russia’s strategic bomber force.
Another struck Engels Air Force Base (Engels-2), a strategic nuclear bomber military airbase in Russia located 8.7 miles east of Saratov.
There are numerous articles and reports across western media about this; many rather gleeful, celebratory or mocking, in tone.
Whatever the specific details and the consequences of these attacks, whatever the Russian retaliation might be, and whatever the ramifications… one glaring aspect has been wholly, deliberately overlooked with no mention whatsoever in western media sources (to date)…
Ukraine has launched a crudely-upgraded Soviet-era unmanned drone against a target (Engels) that houses nuclear weapons.
Given the hysteria over the possibility of a ‘devastating nuclear catastrophe’ with regards to the Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plants over the past months, I find this ‘perspective omission’ concerning.
Let your imagination play with this, for a while.
