00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, Ukraine's growing ability to strike well inside Russia has

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>been underscored with a series of major drone attacks. Overnight,

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>five people were killed and many more injured in an

4
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>attack on a warehouse south of Moscow. These pictures show

5
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>another warehouse belonging to Russia's biggest online retailer, Wildberries, set

6
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>allite in an attack. There was a damage to a

7
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>similar facility in the Taver region. All this comes as

8
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Moscow accused KIV of deliberately targeting civilians after a drone

9
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>hit a beach on the Black Sea coast, killing seven

10
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 1>people yesterday. According to reports, the drone may have been

11
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>targeting a nearby Russian naval base. So how are these

12
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 1>drone attacks being seen in Russia and what impact are

13
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>they actually having? His are Russia editor Steve Rooseaberg, Well,

14
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 1>this is.

15
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>What we know so far. Russian officials say that overnight

16
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>drones attacked an industrial park south of Moscow. A warehouse

17
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>caught fire. The local governor, the governor of Moscow region

18
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 2>says that five people were killed. No official confirmation, but

19
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>who runs that particular warehouse. But later came further reports

20
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>of two other drone attacks in two other parts of

21
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>the country, one near Saint Petersburg and the other in

22
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the Tier region, both targeting warehouses of Wildberry's, the giant

23
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Russian online retailer. And this fits into a pattern because

24
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>since last month, Ukrainian drones have attacked a string of

25
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Wildbery's warehouses in an apparent attempt to disrupt the operations

26
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>of a big Russian company that is used by so

27
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>many people here. Tens of millions of Russians buy things

28
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>via Wildberris. Hundreds of thousands of Russians sell things through Wildberri's.

29
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>I was speaking to someone earlier today whose company sells

30
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>via this company. He says that their business has been

31
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>hit by these drone attacks.

32
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Steve Rosenberg in Moscow with me here is mikey Kay,

33
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>military analyst for the Security Brief and Mike, strategy from

34
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine has changed markedly recently, hasn't it.

35
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's effectively called deep strike, Matthew. Let's rewind back

36
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 3>to February twenty two. Beyond that, the Biden administration, and

37
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 3>I think we've got some footage here, had given Ukraine

38
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the hi Mar's launcher. So the Heima's launcher is effectively

39
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 3>you can see the Attackerm's missile coming out of the

40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 3>Hi Mar's launchers of the Hi Mars bit as the

41
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 3>launcher that you can see there on screen, Matthew is

42
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 3>the Attackum's missile that's got a range of about three

43
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 3>hundred kilometers and a warhead of about one hundred and

44
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>sixty kilograms. However, the whole problem with that was that

45
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine or Zelenski's hands were tied because the BID administration

46
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 3>wasn't allowing them to use those deep strike inside Russian territory.

47
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 3>So fast forward to where we are today, that's changed significantly.

48
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I think we've got I think we've got a little

49
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>look at some of the latest Russian technology. Yeah, this

50
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>is the FP wan drone. FP stands for five point.

51
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 3>It's got to a range of two seven hundred kilometers.

52
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Contrast that with the attackers at three hundred kilometers and

53
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 3>it's just had a modification to take it out the

54
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 3>three four hundred klometers with a sixty kilograund warhead. This

55
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>is what is doing all the devastation on wild Breeze.

56
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>And then I think there's another capability that five point

57
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 3>of developed. This is called the FP five Flamingo. This

58
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 3>is a huge range of three thousand kilometers and a

59
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 3>warhead of eleven hundred and fifty kilograms. Just contrast that

60
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 3>to the Tomahawk land attack missile, the Tea Lamb. It's

61
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 3>double on both double the range and double the payroll.

62
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 3>Now this is the Flamingo, the FP five now and

63
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 3>you'll see it drop and when it drops, it creates

64
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 3>obviously a massive explosion. That's that eleven hundred and fifty

65
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 3>kiloground warhead. So these are the two key capabilities that

66
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 3>are being used to great effect by Ukraine at the moment.

67
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's what they are building and now using. Where

68
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>have they been targeting and how deep inside Russia have

69
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the targets or some of the targets.

70
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Been, Yeah, incredibly deep. Let's start with Russian energy infrastructure.

71
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 3>We've seen that that's been occurring now for over three

72
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 3>months and it's been creating, you know, huge gas lines,

73
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 3>it's been strangling Premiere and it's been used to great

74
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>effect obviously also the Russian war machine. But then also

75
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 3>in July, there's two other key bits which I think

76
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 3>are really important. The first one is Ukraine now targeting

77
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 3>shadow tankers and I think we've got some thermal imagery

78
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>here that we can look at over one hundred and

79
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 3>over one hundred and twenty targeted in the in the

80
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Sea of Asov and over seventy targeted in the Black

81
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Sea since the beginning of July, again having a massive

82
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>impact on Russia's energy. But the key one here and

83
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 3>what we've been hearing about of the last eighteen days

84
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>is wild Bury. It's effectively the Russian equivalent of Amazon.

85
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>And over the commander of Ukraine's unmanned aerial forces have

86
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 3>basically said, in the last eighteen days, over fifteen logistical

87
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>warehouses have been struck. There's two key points in math

88
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 3>that they're interesting. The first one is the size. So

89
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 3>the biggest one that's been struck is over a quarter

90
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 3>million square meters. That's effectively six times the eyes of

91
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 3>Wembley Stadium. But if we can go back to the map,

92
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 3>you'll just see, Matthew, how far inside Russian territory they're

93
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>actually striking. I think if you can just go back

94
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 3>to the map and if not, basically it's the Russian

95
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 3>there we go. You can see right out on the

96
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 3>far right of the screen there that's a thousand that's

97
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 3>a thousand miles from the Ukrainian border. This wasn't possible

98
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 3>a year ago, and in nine months the Ukrainians five

99
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>point especially, have developed these deep strike capabilities that I

100
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 3>would say are certainly turning the tide of the territory

101
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>that Russia has inside occupied Ukraine.

102
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it has an impact on the battlefield, it has

103
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 1>an impact on the economy, it has an impact on

104
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the psychology for Russians, and of course Fladimir Putin. Mikey,

105
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 1>thank you for taking us through all of that.

106
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Thank you
