Analysts have found that Russia is using strike drones to attack NATO countries in order to test the alliance's response and capabilities to such invasions. They are using this experience for future conflicts with NATO.
As a result of increased spending on military goals, the Russian authorities have faced serious financial difficulties and are even considering raising taxes, particularly VAT, to increase budget revenues. Such a move may lead to rising prices for goods and services as businesses pass on the increased costs to consumers.
According to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Russia's military spending is 6.3% of GDP
In September 21, a Russian drone attacked Ukraine, breaching the border with Poland. Some drones were intercepted by the Polish Air Force, which also destroyed a key logistics center in Poland. The military discovered the wreckage of 16 Russian drones.
Ukraine and other NATO countries need to be cautious about possible strikes by Russian drones, which will try to assess the alliance's response and weaknesses. The financial difficulties of the Russian government could lead to further deterioration of the situation.
