DEEP STRIKE: While the West anxiously watches the cautious advance of Ukrainian ground forces in the south, Kyiv is demonstrating its expanding capability to hit Russia on its home turf.

Overnight yesterday, Ukraine unleashed a swarm of more than 20 homemade drones against Russia’s Pskov airfield, located more than 370 miles northwest of Moscow, near the country’s borders with Estonia and Latvia, successfully destroying at least two and possibly as many as four Russian Il-76 cargo planes, which could be seen burning on the tarmac. Two other planes appeared damaged, including a Tu-22 Backfire long-range bomber.
