Russia is likely rethinking its air defenses, UK intel says, after a string of embarrassing strikes deep within its territory

• Drone attacks on airfields in Russia are likely forcing it to reshape its air defense, UK intel said. 
• Russia has seen 25 attacks in August alone, with one destroying a prized bomber.
• Russia has already tried to protect its planes by dispersing them more widely, per the update. 

Russia will likely have to enhance air defenses around its airfields after a spate of drone attacks on exposed Russian planes, according to a UK intelligence assessment. 

Airfields and other locations deep within Russian territory have been pummeled in multiple strikes by exploding drone attacks in recent weeks — with one flurry, on the night of August 29, striking five separate locations.
