In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss Ukraine’s unprecedented drone operation targeting Moscow, the political symbolism of launching the attack during Russian elections, the strategic importance of energy infrastructure, the rapid evolution of drone warfare, and what these developments could mean for future military conflicts involving major world powers.
A large-scale Ukrainian drone attack reached Moscow during Russia’s parliamentary elections, striking energy infrastructure and highlighting how modern warfare continues to evolve.
