Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1660: Ukraine strikes further into Russia than ever before, hitting gas plants over 3,000 km from its border
The same day brought a fire at a Russia-Iran hub on the Caspian and a $1bn Canadian air defense pledge as Russia builds around 100 ballistic missiles a month.
Ukraine initiated attacks deeper into Russia than ever before, targeting key logistics hubs over 3,000 kilometers from its border. The Russian vessel holding up seven flights in Moldova became just one example of the escalating conflict. Ukrainian forces successfully damaged three Russian warships, including the oil infrastructure in Makhachkala port.
While Ukraine's US Patriots are dwindling, they are being replaced with homemade interceptors costing $700,000. Ukrainian drones have downed a record 24,000 Russian copter drones, with each one aiding in stopping a full-fledged attack. Russia has struck at least five Ukrainian border crossings with Moldova and NATO members since late August, pushing their aerial aggression further away from the front lines.
