Tu-141 are 1970s technology. If Russian radar and air defenses could not defeat a Tu-141 that flew hundreds of miles from hitting its main airbase for its strategic bombers in a war setting, that doesn't bode well for its ability to stop a mass cruise missile strike.

— Rob Lee (@RALee85) December 5, 2022

If the new Ukrainian drones indeed have a range of 1000km then all Russian positions from the Finnish border down to Dagestan are in range. Even as deep as Kazan can be hit.

That is definitely a game changer.#Ukraine #Russia pic.twitter.com/hndOZQOPeT
