Ukrainian forces are now capable of launching drone strikes deep within Russian territory, as demonstrated in a recent operation witnessed by *Le Monde*. These attacks are facilitated by Ukraine’s Systems of Unmanned Aircraft Forces (SBS), utilizing drones with ranges exceeding 2,000 kilometers. The strikes signal a significant escalation in the conflict, bringing the war directly to Russian soil. This new capability appears to be shifting Russian perceptions of the war’s proximity and vulnerability. The operation observed by *Le Monde* provides a glimpse into the sophisticated nature of Ukraine’s drone warfare program. These long-range strikes represent a challenge to Russia’s defensive capabilities and a broadening of the battlefield.
