The most recent in a very long list of fires at Russian military assets erupted in flames due to an electrical fire at the neighboring electrical substation powering it
The Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Zhukovsky, about 25 miles south of Moscow, is a hub of jet engine design and development for Russian rockets and Military jets. And it is now another casualty of what is being called a campaign of “Ukrainian Saboteurs in Russia.”
From the Daily Mail:
“Professor Douglas London, of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, and a retired 34-year CIA operations officer, told Foreign Policy journal that some recent incidents - including oil deport fires - may have been sabotage linked to the war.
'US and allied enabling of a Ukrainian sabotage campaign inside Russia telegraphs a significant and escalating cost Putin can ill afford,' he said.’”
