Ukrainian Drone Blitz Ignites Kremlin Fury
Russia is in shock after Ukraine launched a devastating series of drone strikes on strategic airbases, destroying more than 40 military planes and crippling Putin’s nuclear bomber fleet.
The attacks, long in planning, hit targets deep inside Russian territory — including Siberia and the Arctic — wiping out billions in equipment and catching Russian intelligence completely off guard.
Military bloggers and Kremlin-aligned outlets immediately dubbed it Russia’s “Pearl Harbour,” igniting a fiery debate over possible nuclear retaliation.
Kremlin Looks For Scapegoats As Putin Boils
Putin is reportedly furious, holding emergency meetings with the General Staff, FSB, and FSO. According to insider Vladimir Osechkin, the Russian president is preparing to purge senior counterintelligence officers.
The FSB is now drafting a list of the “guilty” for what insiders are calling one of Russia’s greatest military failures in years.
Meanwhile, outrage is boiling over on Russian social media and pro-war Telegram channels, where bloggers accuse the government of incompetence — and worse.
Bloggers Demand Nuclear Strike In Retaliation
As the Kremlin reels, some Russian voices are calling for the unthinkable: a nuclear response.
Sky News’ Moscow correspondent reports that both state media and military bloggers are openly discussing the possibility of a nuclear strike on Ukraine.
They argue the attacks targeted nuclear-capable bombers, allowing a potential justification under Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine.
Brutal Rants Reflect Deepening Crisis
One furious Russian blogger unleashed a profanity-laced tirade on social media, accusing the government of betrayal and failure.
“They f****d our strategic planes up,” the post read. “They spat in our face again… The government doesn’t give a f**k.”
The rant, widely shared online, reflects the desperation and anger within pro-Putin circles who once praised the war effort — and now feel abandoned.
Intelligence Blunders Raise Questions
The scale and precision of the Ukrainian attack raise serious questions about Russia’s defenses.
The drones reportedly slipped past security, despite multiple checkpoints and advanced surveillance systems. Some Russian commentators suggest collusion or sabotage may be involved.
Putin’s military elite now face not only embarrassment but a deep credibility crisis as calls for revenge escalate.
Global Concerns Over Escalation
The possibility of nuclear escalation has alarmed international observers.
If Putin bows to pressure from hardliners, the conflict in Ukraine could enter a terrifying new phase.
So far, there’s no official indication that Russia will deploy nukes — but the rhetoric is growing more dangerous by the hour.
