In the early hours of July 6, Russia deployed 125 long-range Shahed kamikaze drones targeting Kyiv, occurring shortly after President Zelensky's urgent warning about a looming large-scale attack. The Ukrainian Air Force verified that the assault comprised three guided air missiles along with an anti-radar missile. As Russia intensifies its drone operations, military experts are raising serious concerns regarding the potential deployment of Oreshnik hypersonic missiles against NATO-affiliated targets, placing the 10 US states with the closest military ties to NATO at significant strategic risk.
