A high-profile Russian defense executive is fighting for his life after a targeted car bombing. The powerful blast instantly killed Tkachuk’s driver, who also served as his bodyguard, while leaving the drone boss in grave condition. Tkachuk shows a drone to Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2024. No group has officially claimed responsibility for the bombing, though Russian security services routinely point the finger at Kyiv for precision strikes on high-value targets deep inside Russian territory. The car bombing follows a devastating explosion at an upscale Italian restaurant in Moscow that left five people dead and 19 others injured.
