Moscow and its surrounding areas are home to 21 million people. Moscow is the largest metropolitan area in Europe, along with Istanbul. Meanwhile, Russia has also carried out attacks before the drone attack on Moscow. Ukraine claims that Moscow launched 145 drone attacks on Saturday night. Of these, they destroyed 62 drones.

US President-elect Donald Trump said during his election campaign that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office in January. However, he did not give any details about this. According to media reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Trump to congratulate him after he won the election. Tesla CEO Elon Musk was involved in the phone call. Elon Musk’s company is providing internet access to Ukraine through Starlink satellites.

Kiev has been the target of drone attacks by Russian troops several times. Recently, Kiev has been carrying out counter-drone attacks targeting various oil refineries, airfields and energy infrastructure inside Russia.

Both Moscow and Kiev have promised to develop and purchase new drones. Meanwhile, Moscow has developed a kind of defense system like an electronic umbrella to protect against drone attacks. Under this, strategic defense systems have been taken from various buildings in Moscow at different levels. It is possible to destroy any drone before it reaches the Kremlin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has commented on such drone attacks as a terrorist act. He has promised to respond to them.

Moscow’s defense system has been strengthened since the start of the Ukraine war. Even after such attacks, there has been no major panic in the Moscow area.
