On the night of December 10, 2025, Ukrainian drones flew deep into Russia. They reached the Moscow region in a daring attack. This showed weaknesses in Russia's large defense system. Russia's Defense Ministry said it destroyed 20 drones in four regions.
A source in the Security Service of Ukraine told Business Insider that the attack was carried out more than 1,240 miles away.
The last time Moscow was subjected to a massive drone attack was September 23. Then 41 drones were destroyed in 16 hours over the approach to the Russian capital. Against this backdrop, airports also temporarily suspended operations. In total, airlines canceled or delayed more than 200 flights.
Russia has ordered a winter troop surge to break the stalemate in Ukraine, but Ukrainian drone attacks on logistics and resupply channels will undermine this offensive.
