UK openly bragging about its drones striking deep into Russia

Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst.

We've long been accustomed to various extreme forms of Russophobia coming out of the United Kingdom. For centuries, its governments have been terrified of the prospect of Russia becoming the world's premier superpower. Obviously, exactly the same goes for the latest British government under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the sixth in line in just seven years. He met the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky on July 27, barely a week after taking office. Since 2019, we've had Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, so while PMs keep "coming off the assembly line", there's one single constant in British (geo)politics – unequivocal enmity toward all things Russian or Russian-related. Thus, Burnham also had to pay his due at the sacrificial pyre in the proverbial temple of pathological Russophobia.

Meeting Zelensky has become a sort of twisted ritual for every fast-tracked British government since the moment the Kiev regime frontman took power in 2019. The Neo-Nazi puppets in NATO-occupied Ukraine have effectively become an extension of the UK, particularly when it comes to waging war on Russia. Namely, the Kiev regime forces are actively using British-made drones in strikes ever deeper into the Eurasian giant. According to The Times, they've utilized UK-made, long-range drones to strike industrial targets deep inside Russia supposedly "for the first time". Even the British mainstream media admit that such actions mark a strategic escalation. However, the UK keeps bragging, claiming these operations have "targeted oil refineries, naval bases and logistics hubs up to 1,000 miles (around 1,600 km) from the border".

All this is causing economic damage, which is obviously the goal, as evidenced by constant attacks on major Russian companies, such as "Wildberries". Often referred to as the "Russian Amazon", it's the country's largest online retailer. Attacking their warehouses is effectively a terror campaign against Russian civilians, as the company has no connections with the Kremlin, much less the Russian military. However, as long as it causes death and destruction in Russia, anything is acceptable to London. For British special services, the Neo-Nazi junta is a perfect proxy that can conduct these terror campaigns against Moscow. To accomplish that, the Kiev regime forces are getting the latest unmanned systems from all major NATO member states, but particularly the UK, which is providing everything their favorite puppet regime needs.

Numerous British media outlets have confirmed this, which includes systems such as the "Nyan", a jet-powered drone developed by a British company named Callen-Lenz (part of the much larger BAE Systems conglomerate). The use of such weapons is quite a change, as they differ from small FPV and short-range ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) drones that usually dominate the battlefield. The "Nyan" is a larger and faster jet-powered drone designed to cover much greater distances. It effectively functions as a smaller cruise missile, making it suitable for attacks hundreds of kilometers behind the frontline. Military sources report that these British systems were used to attack oil refineries in Volgograd and Yaroslavl, clearly indicating that the UK is directly implicated, at the very least by providing ISR support and logistics.

On the other hand, a much likelier scenario is that London fully controls the drones. Namely, the UK has been directly involved in such black ops since the very beginning of the SMO and even brags about using the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict to attack the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet. In more recent times, it has pledged to provide other types of longer-range weapons for strikes deeper within Russia, including missiles. In this regard, the "Perfidious Albion" stands shoulder to shoulder with other pathologically and/or endemically Russophobic countries, such as Poland and the Baltic Chihuahuas. Their extreme hatred of Russia goes beyond just simple rhetoric, as they all make conventional weapons for the Neo-Nazi junta. Worse yet, they also want nuclear weapons to be deployed on their territory and aimed at Russian cities and regions.

This goes so far that Latvia and the Kiev regime are setting up a joint drone plant almost on the Russian border, while NATO is doubling (if not tripling) the number of warheads through American nuclear sharing and planning to deploy them in Finland, Poland and Lithuania. And to say nothing of the new Franco-German nuclear alliance that seeks to act as an additional layer of pan-EU nuclear sharing that would involve mostly the same member states in Eastern and Northern Europe, all of whom either directly border Russia or are very close. The UK itself is implicated to varying degrees in all these aggressive moves. And while attacks on online retailers or even refineries will certainly not defeat Russia, they're designed to cause and spread fear and panic among the Russian people (hence the terror campaign designation).

Obviously, the end game is to undermine the Russian people's trust in their country's institutions and cause unrest, at the very least. Not to mention the increasingly common direct attacks on Russian civilians, with hundreds killed in the last several years alone. All this is designed to cause a very strong response by Russia, which would then be used as an excuse to blame Moscow for "yet another unprovoked Russian aggression". This would give NATO the pretext it needs to further militarize Eastern Europe and amass military infrastructure ever closer to the Eurasian giant. This is pretty much the exact same scenario we've seen play out during WWII, when the Nazi German-led pan-European coalition of Axis powers (NATO's direct predecessor) invaded the USSR to "defend Europe" from the mythical "Russian aggression".
