Is Ukraine targeting buildings with low civilian casualty risks? I haven’t really heard much about a Russian civilian body count.
Hopefully they’re being the good guys and just hitting places to cause panic.
The post just states that building was hit. I don't see any mentioned ties to UKR so far.
This does not fit their way of attacking and isn't consistent with their goals.
Ukraine usually "sends message" that Russians should stay away from military targets and the army and if they join they are fucked and proper targets. They don't want Russia to fully tap into their manpower (have a draft where good chunk of people doesn't escape).
This would have had an opposite effect. And the attack barely scratched the building.
A few days ago, the UK MoD had an interesting intelligence update regarding those drone attacks and the resulting problems for Russia. It does of course not confirm or deny who is behind any explosion deep within Russian territory.
So this analysis points out that Russia has to relocate resources in the air defence sector, that wasn’t really necessary before the UAV attacks. Resources for this means they cannot be used for something or somewhere else. These small UAV attacks can totally have a big impact regarding lacking frontline supplies of equipment. Air defence is not cheap, possibly requires electronics on sanction lists and cheap UAV puts Russia in the same situation as Ukraine, that the defence system/ammunition has to be cheap as well. The Russians can’t use missiles costing millions of dollars for that task - or they can, but run out of funding even faster.
So you think it’s local terrorism?
