The Kremlin paid $1.7 billion, partially in gold, to secure the license for local assembly of up to 6,000 Shaheds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>How the Ukrainians struck that drone stash is unclear. The general staff attributed the raid to the Ukrainian military and counterterrorism ministry. Oktyabrsky is just 140 miles from the front line in eastern Ukraine, placing it within range of a wide array of Ukrainian munitions.<\/p>\n<p>But we can probably rule out Ukraine\u2019s best Western-made munitions\u2014its American Army Tactical Missile Systems rockets, British Storm Shadow cruise missiles and French SCALP-EG cruise missiles. Washington, D.C., London and Paris continue to deny Kyiv permission to use these weapons for strikes on Russian soil.<\/p>\n<p>There are no restrictions on Ukrainian-made munitions, however. Ukraine\u2019s Neptune cruise missiles can reach into southern Russia. And the long-range strike drones the Ukrainian intelligence directorate has developed can range hundreds of miles past Oktyabrsky.<\/p>\n<p>The attack on the Shahed warehouse is part of a wider trend. Rather than expending expensive air-defense missiles to shoot down the drones near their targets, the Ukrainians are making an effort to strike \u201cleft of the boom,\u201d to borrow a U.S. military idiom. That is, they\u2019re trying to hit Russian munitions before the Russians can launch them.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"topx\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-topx-2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Shaheds aren\u2019t the only targets.
