Ukraine demonstrates extended strike capability against Russian territory, challenging Russian air defense claims and shifting tactical balance. Russia's disputed air defense narrative suggests vulnerability in protecting civilian areas, potentially affecting regional deterrence perceptions and NATO ally confidence.
