Drone factories in the crosshairs of Russia.
While the world is following with bated breath the developments for peace in the Middle East, the war between Russia and Ukraine continues unabated, and a new disturbing development raises fears of a widening conflict involving Western European countries.
Yesterday (15), Russia’s Ministry of Defense warned that the European plans to step up drone supplies to Ukraine will bring those countries into an actual kinetic war with Russia.
A number of EU countries have decided to increase the production and supply of drones to Ukraine, the Russian MoD believes, a move that is escalating the conflict.
The significant increase in drone output for the Kiev regime is planned through expanded funding for the so-called "Ukrainian" and "joint" ventures based in Europe that manufacture attack drones and their components.
"We view this decision as a deliberate step leading to a sharp escalation of the military-political situation across the European continent and the creeping transformation of these countries into a strategic rear base for Ukraine," the MoD stated. The implementation of scenarios — voiced by representatives of the Kiev regime — involving terrorist attacks against Russia using Europe-produced, ostensibly "Ukrainian" drones, would lead to unpredictable consequences, the ministry added. Instead of strengthening European security, the actions of European leaders are increasingly dragging their countries into war with Russia. "The European public must not only clearly understand the true reasons for the threats to their security but also know the addresses and locations of the so-called 'Ukrainian' and 'joint' drone manufacturing facilities and component plants for Ukraine on their own national territories."
“[The Russian MoD] published a list of factories and enterprises in several European countries it alleges manufacture drones or drone components, and gave their addresses, including sites in Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, Israel and Poland, among others.
‘The European public should not only have a clear understanding of the true causes of the threats to their security, but also be aware of the addresses and locations of Ukrainian and joint enterprises producing UAVs and components for Ukraine within their own countries’, it said.”
“Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, said in a subsequent post on X that the list published by the military amounted to a list of potential targets for Russia’s armed forces.”
This is a serious escalation, not a ‘warning’ or a ‘hint’, but rather an open announcement of ‘imminent strikes’.
