Drone factories in the crosshairs of Russia.
While the world is following with bated breath the developments for peace in the Middle East, the war between Russia and Ukraine continues unabated, and a new disturbing development raises fears of a widening conflict involving Western European countries.
Yesterday (15), Russia’s Ministry of Defense warned that the European plans to step up drone supplies to Ukraine will bring those countries into an actual kinetic war with Russia.

A number of EU countries have decided to increase the production and supply of drones to Ukraine, the Russian MoD believes, a move that is escalating the conflict.

Reuters reported:
“[The Russian MoD] published a list of factories and enterprises in several European countries it alleges manufacture drones or drone components, and gave their addresses, including sites in Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, Israel and Poland, among others.
‘The European public should not only have a clear understanding of the true causes of the threats to their security, but also be aware of the addresses and locations of Ukrainian and joint enterprises producing UAVs and components for Ukraine within their own countries’, it said.”
Russian Defense Ministry’s statement must be taken literally: the list of European facilities which make drones & other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces. When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next. Sleep well, European partners!

“Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, said in a subsequent post on X that the list published by the military amounted to a list of potential targets for Russia’s armed forces.”
This is a serious escalation, not a ‘warning’ or a ‘hint’, but rather an open announcement of ‘imminent strikes’.
