Ukraine. Will drones close Russian airspace?

Observador2 September 2026 at 21:59

The issue of Ukrainian drones and the closure of Russian airspace is generating international debate. Ana Cavalieri, a defense affairs specialist, commented on the situation, considering that the Ukrainian threat in Russian airspace aims to create psychological disruption in Russia. This strategy seeks to affect the country's morale and internal stability through aerial operations.

In addition to military operations, Ana Cavalieri advocates for the activation of NATO's Article 4 against sabotage. This article allows for consultation between Alliance members when any of them considers that its territorial integrity, political independence, or security is threatened. The suggestion indicates a possible escalation in tensions between NATO and Russia.

The article does not provide additional details on specific drone attacks or on the Russian response, but foreshadows a multi-front conflict, where airspace becomes a new field of psychological and military battle.
