[March 15, Moscow suffered a large-scale drone attack, with the total number of intercepted drones rising to 40]
On March 15, Moscow once again found itself under the shadow of a drone attack. According to the latest statement from Mayor Sobyanin, three more drones attempting to attack the capital were shot down by air defense forces, raising the total number of intercepted drones on that day to 40. Emergency teams are working intensively at the crash sites. Although subjected to intense aerial attacks, Moscow's two main airports - Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo - were not completely paralyzed, but flights are struggling to maintain operations under temporary airspace restrictions.
Micro-comment
Recent developments indicate that Ukraine has the capability to launch a "saturating attack" on Moscow continuously, putting the Moscow air defense system under high pressure.
The Ukrainian military attempts to penetrate the layered S-400, "Kulak-S" and other air defense networks through numerical superiority. This tactic not only consumes expensive Russian air defense missiles, but also aims to break the psychological defense line. The number of 40 drones means that the attack is no longer a "lone wolf" operation of harassment, but rather a systematic strategic strike.
The fact that Ukrainian drones can approach Moscow and cause continuous restrictions at the airport indicates that the Moscow air defense system is not an impenetrable fortress. Such "fish that escape the net" bring not only physical destruction, but also a continuous weakening of Russia's image as a major power - even with one of the most densely packed air defense systems in the world, the capital still cannot guarantee absolute safety.
