First deep strike into Russia changes military game - sources report new weapons use
Ukrainian forces hit military storage site deep in Russian territory using new long-range capabilities. Two media outlets point to first-time deployment of US-made missiles while officials stay quiet
A game-changing strike hit Russian military storage near Karachev town yesterday marking the first reported use of advanced US-made missiles. Located 110km inside Russia this hit shows Ukraineʼs new long-range strike power
The attack targeted an ammo depot causing multiple follow-up blasts. Ukrainian military command confirmed hitting the target but didnt specify which weapons they used (though two well-known news outlets point to ATACMS missiles being used for first time)
Russian defense officials claim they shot down several air threats that day:
- 12 drones between 07:15-08:35
- 4 more drones around 09:10
- 85 drones and 5 missiles in 24hrs total
This strike comes right after Washington gave a green-light to use US-supplied weapons deeper in Russia; the decision was partly influenced by Putinʼs recent move to bring in North-Korean soldiers. The Russian leader made it clear back in 09/2024 that Western long-range weapons hitting Russian soil would change everything - but Ukraine keeps pushing its strike abilities forward
Ukraineʼs military stated: “destroying ammo storage sites will go on to stop Russian attacks.“ Before this they used home-made drones for far-away targets; now with new tech they can hit key spots that send weapons to bomb Ukrainian cities
