Russia bombed its own city, Defense Ministry says

[Warpy]

4. I have to wonder what's really going on

I also wonder about the number of dead and/'or injured. One car was tossed onto the roof of a market and the whole area is surrounded by apartment buildings.

The word in the bowels of the net is that it was a 500 pound dumb bomb, not a glider or anything else, the kind used for knocking out bridges and other large, hard to kill targets. This wasn't a rogue pilot, after the bomb dropped he returned to his base deeper inside Russia.

Ukraine officials have said there are a lot of surprises they're about to spring on the Russians. I have to wonder if jamming an aircraft's navigation systems at that distance is possible. If it is, we haven't done it yet. Or maybe these accidents happen frequently in rural areas and this is the first time one has been announced because it happened to a fair sized city.
