    Considering one of the biggest explosions recently wasn’t from a Ukrainian drone but a Russian anti-air missile coming back down… Not sure that’s their best option?

      Kremlin’s narrative must be kept that Russia is the good guy, while being under constant attack from West. Still too many Russians are brainwashed or making profit from the situation (control).

    At this point I’d just send a ton of cheap decoys each day to deplete it’s anti air defense.

      Problem is the explosives are cheap, a decoy that can get to Moscow will cost like 90% as much as an actual drone, so might as well launch a real one at a target.

      The decoys won’t do shit and won’t hit any targets

      The Russian air defences, though, they will cause a pandemonium

    It’s so good to see how the front moved from one capital to another.
