Satellite images have revealed the presence of new drone launch ramps in Russia, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph. These installations could accommodate Russian drones with a range of 1,000 kilometers and capable of carrying a payload of 90 kilograms.

In response to the use of British drones by Kiev to strike in Russia, Moscow has threatened the United Kingdom. According to sources, this attack could be seen as an escalation of tensions between the two countries, a development deemed concerning by Russia.

The British Ministry of Defense responded by stating that London remains committed to providing the necessary equipment to Ukraine for its defense against Vladimir Putin's invasion.
