Moscow's Shutdown Reveals This About Ukraine's Next Move - Jason Jay Smart

On July 20, 2025, Ukraine launched its most disruptive drone strike on Moscow to date—shutting down all four major airports. More than 134 planes were rerouted, passengers were stranded for hours, and fires broke out in the suburbs of Zelenograd.

In a shocking turn of events, the strike exposed critical weaknesses in Russia's air defense system, overwhelming radar and jamming networks once considered impenetrable. This was not just a failure of hardware—but a collapse in confidence. The implications of this exposure are enormous: flights grounded, public panic, and regime isolation.

Ukraine’s evolving drone tactics are rewriting modern warfare, forcing Russia to spend exponentially more defending exponentially less. And as Moscow struggles to adapt, each drone strike chips away at Putin’s psychological stability—and at his ability to protect Russia’s capital.

In this video, we’ll delve into the full strategic impact of the July 20 attack: the type of drones used, how they bypassed Russian defenses, and the growing economic and military consequences of Kyiv’s long-range drone strategy. This is psychological warfare fused with precision engineering. Every strike costs Ukraine mere thousands, yet forces the Kremlin into million-dollar overreactions. Putin’s paranoia is no longer rumor—it’s operational fact. Bunkers, armored trains, and total digital lockdown define his regime. And this campaign is no accident. It’s designed to bankrupt the illusion of Russian invincibility—until the entire system collapses under its own weight.

If you want to understand why this moment matters—and how it’s reshaping the future of the war—watch until the end.
