The Story in Brief
Ukraine destroyed a Russian air defence system guarding President Vladimir Putin's luxury palace near the Black Sea, NDTV reports quoting The Telegraph. The launcher was left "ablaze and sputtering for three hours" after a drone attack, said Major Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's unmanned systems forces. The Krasnodar palace, valued at Rs 13,000 crore, is one of several properties linked to Putin.
The strike highlights Ukraine's growing ability to hit high-value targets deep inside Russia. Kyiv has repeatedly targeted infrastructure and military assets far from the front lines, using long-range drones. Moscow has not commented on the claim.
The Indian Opinion
Western outlets are framing this as a blow to Putin's prestige, but the real question is how many such systems Ukraine can take out. One launcher lost does not cripple Russia's air umbrella. Watch for independent confirmation of the damage and whether Ukraine repeats these strikes. If Moscow's air defences are truly thin, we will see more Ukrainian hits on symbolic targets. If not, this remains a morale victory but little more.
