With the green light to use long-range missiles, airfields and key logistics hubs deep inside Russia have also come within Ukraine’s range.

Ukraine, pummeled nightly by deadly Russian missile attacks on its cities, has pleaded for months for permission to use U.S.-provided longer-range weaponry to hit airfields and missile installations well inside Russia.

Russian military equipment, such as jets, has already been moved to airfields further inside Russia in anticipation of such a decision.

Earlier this year it was reportedly spotted at the Akhtubinsk airfield in southern Russia, one of the launch sites to attack Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones targeted a military airfield in the Maikop region of southern Russia.
