The drone attack comes amid reports that Russia had run out of the Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones that had not been seen on the battlefield for weeks. The return of the Shahed comes when Russia has gone on a rampage against Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure following a drone attack on its Air Force bases deep inside the Russian territory.
Russia attacked Kyiv and Zhytomyr with Iranian kamikaze drones "Shahed-136/131" this morning. As of now, air defense shot down 10 drones. Wreckage of one of the Shaheds shot down over central Kyiv has the inscription "For Ryazan". pic.twitter.com/K3FHRlLLbY

Russian vengeance was fully displayed in the drone attack as one of the Shahed-136 shot down had ‘For Ryazan’ written on it. This referenced the alleged Ukrainian drone attack on the Dyagilevo Air Force Base in the Ryazan Oblast.
Besides the Dyagilevo, the Engels-2 Air Base also attacked on December 5.The Russian messaging here is unmissable as it launched a fresh missile strike against Ukraine right after the unprecedented drone attack exposed the vulnerabilities of its defenses.
In addition, EurAsian Times recently reported that in the latest satellite images of the Engels Air Base published on December 13, the tarmac on the Air Base had a message written in Russian. It read: Death to the Nazis,” referencing Russia’s Denazification project in Ukraine.
Someone is not very happy with the satellite imagery showing Russian strategic aviation field in Engels, making "Death to Nazis" writing on the tarmac, to be clearly seen from satellite. Image by @planet, h/t @_MTAnderson pic.twitter.com/wJqxTPpKY8
