Russia invades Ukraine.

if that were true then three days before the victory parades was the wrong time to do it.

smaller parades and scaled-down events wrre.very noticeable.

Mmh... There could have been another less-than-poetic potential win there. Don't have any military pilots left for the parade and/or enough vehicles not otherwise engaged and/or don't want to actually provoke some real enemy action? Fly a drone into the Kremlin, but only a little bit, then claim security concerns.

They did have some more tech on display in other places. Moscow though... Sad as fuck.

That said though, it appears that Russian anti-air is an even bigger joke than their air force, so could it have been legitimate? Yeah, but then Russia is the only party with something tangible to gain from such an attack on so small a scale.

[billy rubin]

well, nobody was hurt and i havent seen any imagrs of any damage

you may be right

[Asmodean]

Yeah. It's just... If it were Ukraine, one would have expected better effort.

[Icarus]

Should we be concerned that a bunch of Russian drones invaded Poland's territory? A couple of other countries dispatched F35s to shoot down the drones.

[Recusant]

It's an escalation from Putin, or a test, but I haven't seen any reports of him objecting to his war machines being dealt with. He hasn't yet claimed the right of Russian offensive weapons to violate NATO airspace.
