"Would Pay A Price": Moscow Warns UK After British-Made Drones Hit Russia

Russia has threatened the United Kingdom with consequences after British-made drones were used for the first time in deep strikes against mainland Russia. Moscow stated that the UK would pay a price for supplying these drones to Ukraine. This escalation follows a broader pattern of increased aerial attacks, including a separate operation where Ukraine launched over 600 drones at Moscow and its surrounding areas. The Russian government is now explicitly linking the origin of the hardware to the potential for retaliatory measures against the supplier.
