Russia withdraws air defences from front line to ~~protect~~ attack Moscow

FTFY

Why would Russia attack Moscow?

They recently blew up their own fuel depot in downtown because they tried to shoot down a drone and missed.

I thought they hit the drone, it just crashed into the fuel depot anyway.

Its on video. You can watch it miss and the depo explode.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The video is very clear. The thing that hit the depot was a missile, not a drone, and was nowhere near the drone being tracked.

Even if someone claimed there was a second drone, a drone wouldn't have crashed with that sort of trail and speed.

They just missed by a lot and with a very ill-advised trajectory to end up doing way more damage than the drone ever would have done itself.

I need to see this video then, I must be mistaken. All good.

Yeah, it was since posted to a sibling comment to the one you replied to. So a couple of hours after your comment it looked difficult to come away with that take. Sorry you got a bit downvoted over it.

Lol this guy doesn't know

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Because they sorta did.

That UFO picture of Moscow last week? Yeah, that was Russian air defence systems doing "their job" as how the Muppets also do "their job"
