Ukraine fires US and UK supplied munitions at high rise civilian buildings in Moscow – maybe they can’t hit any military targets in ex-Ukrainian territory annexed by Russia?

Ukraine Says Drone Attacks To "Increase In Scale" After Overnight Moscow Attack | ZeroHedge
“While Moscow has been subject of small drone attack at sporadic points throughout the Ukraine war, such attacks on the capital have remained rare.
Andriy Yusov, spokesperson for Ukraine's military intelligence, in a rare moment of Kiev taking responsibility for an operation deep inside Russian territory said the drones "testify to the fact that the Putin regime is unable to fully control the sky even for the protection of the most important facilities."
"Obviously, this situation will continue and increase in scale," Yusov added.
Well, Russia will have been attacking Kiev, I am sure, so this is “tit for tat”. The problem for Ukraine is that I suspect that Russia has a hundreds tits for one Ukrainian tat.
“Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Monday called for severe retaliation for the attempted Moscow attack, saying the military should select "non-standard targets" to exact revenge.”
A dish best served cold.
“He angrily denounced what he called the "Banderite bastards" who are increasingly "choosing peaceful civilian targets for their despicable attacks."
"We also need to select non-standard targets for our strikes, not just storage sites, energy hubs and oil bases. There are other places where nobody would be expecting us and where strikes would have a widely felt impact," Medvedev added.”
I expect that Russia is cranking up its munitions manufacturing amd metal minin capability at as fast a rate, if not faster than NATO. I wonder how much its metals mining is cranking up relative to NATO’s. Is Canada opening up more open cast mines for metal ores, or Australia, or maybe South America or Africa? Hopefully no-one is exceeding CO2 emissions targets on or off the battlefield.

I used to think Medvedev was rather a meek and mild guy. No longer it seems.
Good article and I cross posted it.
