Blowing on the Pscow. Why Russian air defense was not ready for Ukrainian UAVs

Ukrainian drones calmly flew 700 kilometers over Russia and hit the Pskov airfield. Military observer Alexander Kovalenko explains why it happened and what to wait further. A small detail from Pskov ignition. Traditionally, the Russian side now accuses Ukraine of the incident that happened this night at the Pskov airfield. Although Ukraine did not provide conscious evidence that Ukraine is standing behind. But even if it is . . . from the border of Ukraine to Pskov at a straight line 700 km.

That is, the question arises, and how did a few UAVs be overcome such distance unnoticed and without being whipped air defense, which has no analogues in the world? Another point. Assuming that these UAVs were flying from Ukraine, then on what route? About 400 km is near the border with Belarus. Then it is the Pskov region bordering Latvia and Estonia-NATO member states.

That is, what happens, Russia has no air defense along the border with Belarus and in the area bordering on terrible and aggressive NATO countries? And what to do when a third of the available air defense burned in Ukraine, a third is in Ukraine to cover the occupation troops, and the third one has to concentrate for the protection of at least Moscow and the Crimean bridge. At the same time, it is becoming more and less and less every day.
