The drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), which attempted to attack Moscow on June 16, could have been launched from the Kharkov and Sumy regions. Possible places for their launch were named by Honored Military Pilot of Russia, Major General Vladimir Popov in a conversation with aif.ru.
The officer admitted that the drones’ route ran through the Smolensk region or the Tambov region located to the south. “There are most likely two main directions here, but, of course, [the drones were launched] from the territory of Ukraine, from the regions closest to the border.
