Оросын нутаг дэвсгэр рүү Британид үйлдвэрлэсэн нисгэгчгүй онгоцоор цохилт өгсөн гэх мэдээллийн дараа Москва Их Британийг хариуцлага хүлээнэ хэмээн сүрдүүллээ.
Их Британийн хоёр компанид үйлдвэрлэсэн нисгэгчгүй онгоцуудыг Украйн улс гүн цохилт өгөх ажиллагаандаа ашигласан тухай Sunday Times сонин мэдээлсний дараа ОХУ-ын Элчин сайдын яамнаас даваа гарагт мэдэгдэл гаргав. Уг мэдэгдэлд Лондон Украйны хямралыг хурцатгахыг санаатайгаар сонгож, ОХУ-д дээд зэргийн хохирол учруулахыг зорьж байна хэмээн буруутгажээ. Мөн мөргөлдөөнд гүнзгий оролцох тусам Их Британи өндөр үнэ төлөх болно гэж анхааруулсан байна.
Их Британийн Батлан хамгаалах яамны хэвлэлийн төлөөлөгч хариуд нь Украйн улс өөрийгөө хамгаалах шаардлагатай тоног төхөөрөмжөөр хангах нь тэдний үүрэг гэдгийг онцлов. Түүнчлэн ОХУ-ын түрэмгийллийн эсрэг Украйн болон холбоотнуудтайгаа хамт зогсох шийдвэр төгс байгаагаа илэрхийлжээ.
Украйн улс энэ онд Flamingo далавчит пуужин болон FP-1 холын зайн нисгэгчгүй онгоц зэрэг өөрийн технологио ашиглан Оросын цэргийн үйлдвэр, эрчим хүчний байгууламж болон агуулахууд руу цохилт өгөх ажиллагаагаа эрчимжүүлээд байна. Мөргөлдөөнийг хянадаг ACLED байгууллагын мэдээллээр, Украйн улс долдугаар сард нэгдүгээр сартай харьцуулахад гурав дахин олон ийм цохилтыг хэрэгжүүлжээ.
Эдгээр цохилтын улмаас Оросын агаарын довтолгооноос хамгаалах системүүд хэт ачаалалтай ажиллаж байгаа бөгөөд хоёр тал аль аль нь иргэний хохирол амсах нь нэмэгдэж байна. ОХУ-ын Батлан хамгаалах яамны мэдээлснээр, бямба гарагт л гэхэд 598 нисгэгчгүй онгоцыг устгасан бол, даваа болон мягмар гарагт болсон харилцан цохилтуудын улмаас олон арван энгийн иргэн амь үрэгдээд байна.

Moscow has threatened the UK with “consequences” after reports that British drones have been used to strike targets on Russia’s mainland for the first time.
Ukraine used drones made by two UK companies as part of a so-called deep strike campaign, the Sunday Times reported.
Kyiv has stepped up its attacks on Russia this year, with long-range missiles and swarms of drones increasingly targeting military industries and energy facilities.
It has also targeted giant depots for Wildberries – Russia’s largest online retailer – burning billions of pounds worth of merchandise and bringing the war home to the Russian public more than four years into Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s embassy to the UK said in a statement on Monday that the reports “confirm that London is deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis” and accused Britain of “seeking to contain Russia and inflict maximum damage on it by proxy”.
“London’s actions will inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer,” it said.
“The deeper its involvement in the conflict and the greater its support for Kyiv’s terrorist machinery, the higher the price it will pay.”
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “Britain stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine and we are committed to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin’s illegal invasion.
“Russia should be in no doubt about the resolve of this government to stand against Russian aggression, in Ukraine and against the UK and our allies.”
Ukraine’s strategy of long-range drone strikes is thought to be intended to cut Moscow’s revenue for the war and make Russian citizens feel the impact of the invasion.
It launched three times as many such strikes in July as it did in January, according to data from Acled, an independent conflict monitor.
Repeatedly hitting deep into Russia has forced its military to stretch air defences over a larger area.
Russia’s defence ministry said on Saturday that it had shot down 598 Ukrainian drones over 19 Russian regions, as well as the Black Sea, the Azov Sea and the annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.

Officials said on Monday that Ukrainian long-range attacks on Russia had killed seven people overnight, while five civilians died in Ukraine after strikes by Moscow’s forces.
Russian missile attacks on Tuesday killed 10 people and injured a eight in a village in Ukraine’s north-eastern Kharkiv oblast, the regional governor said.
The strike on the village of Pechenihy damaged 10 private buildings, a cafe, a post office, a shop and at least seven cars, Oleh Syniehubov said on Telegram.
A rapid development of largely homegrown technologies, including the Flamingo cruise missile and the FP-1 long-range fixed-wing drone from Fire Point, have allowed Ukraine to bomb warehouses, oil refineries, ports and military facilities up to 1,500 miles (2,400km) from its border.
Ukraine can now almost match the deep-strike capability that Russia has had since the beginning of the war using large drones and cruise missiles, though it does not possess the high-speed ballistic missiles that Moscow frequently uses.
At the same time, both sides’ air defences are stretched to the point of near exhaustion, leading to a rise in civilian casualties and worries that the impact of the conflict beyond the immediate frontlines will only increase into the winter.
