Jet-powered Ukrainian suicide drones have been spotted flying over Russia’s Belgorod region for the first time, as Kyiv ramps up its strikes on Putin’s home turf. Three short clips show black drones with arrow-shaped wings flying fast over the Russian region which sits on the Ukrainian border, accompanied by the sound of a jet engine. It is not clear whether these craft struck anything or were just being tested. If deployed in combat, it is likely the jet drones would be used for strikes deep inside Russia targeting key oil refineries which pay for Putin’s war and weapons factories that supply his troops. Ukraine has used a huge range of drones to attack these sites already, including one last week that seemed to be based on a Cessna or similar light aircraft. Kyiv’s aim is to wear down Russia’s ability to fight while it regenerates its own military after the failed counter-offensive last year that has seen Western assistance dry up.
