The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is increasingly defined by aerial warfare, with both sides engaging in aggressive strikes against one another. As Russian troops secure ground in the Donbas region, Ukrainian forces are ramping up their drone operations to target critical Russian military installations.

Recently, a large-scale drone attack by Ukraine led to a catastrophic explosion at a major armory in Tver, Russia. The blast was so powerful that it resulted in the evacuation of a nearby town, with eyewitness accounts describing a scene reminiscent of an earthquake. Satellite imagery revealed extensive smoke and fire at the site, while NASA satellites detected intense heat over an area of about 14 square kilometers, further illustrating the attack’s scale.

Meanwhile, Russia has intensified its own aerial operations, reportedly targeting key Ukrainian military communication facilities and energy infrastructures. The Russian Defense Ministry has claimed success in hitting various military targets, although the specifics of the damage remain unclear. The ongoing attacks have raised alarm bells in Ukraine, particularly in cities like Kharkiv and Kyiv, where explosions have been reported, indicating the conflict is entering a new and dangerous phase as winter approaches.
