Wikipedia about this sourceThey’re seriously trying to claim that none of the drones actually hit anything and all of the damage we’re seeing (the rather extensive damage) is all just “debris” from them downing the drones.
Sure, Jan, sure.
At this point if you treat anything they say seriously it speaks volumes about you.
This is true about every armed conflict on the planet.

Russia’s got a LOT more land and facilities to cover and defend. I hope Ukraine can continue stepping up covert infrastructure attacks, because it’ll spread the already overstressed Russian air defenses even further.
AFAIK there’s a ton of their best anti air stuff parked around Moscow just because of this, they can’t risk the hits they’d take if they move it to the front lines
