If its actually Ukrainian drones, then it shows fatal flaws in Russian air defenses.

But if so, watch it backfire spectacularly because Putin has got everything else about his so called "Special Military Operation" completely wrong.
Bombing civilians, whether in Ukraine or London during WW2 doesn't accomplish what was hoped for and just makes the citizens mad and more determined in most cases.

send two drone attacks into Russia for every one that Russia has sent.
The fact that Russia is being hit internally will, with every hit, help erode Pootin regime support by the general population.

Of anyone opposing his unprovoked war, how could he possibly have any "support" at all??
