That’s crazy. I had no idea they flew THAT LOW.
Apparently the drones weren’t successful but every time they send the war back to Russia, it’s a win. Russians can witness it with their own eyes.
How are these drones controlled?
1000km right across russia in broad fucking daylight!
That’s a great big FUCK YOU PUTIN for the locals to see and talk about over their potato stew tonight.
joyfully waiting for the boooom of the impact 💖
The drones really need a noise surpressor system, so they will be much harder to identify by their sound. You can far earlier hear them, than someone can see them by their own eyes. Also sound suppression is a stealth technology. As they can hear them early, they are warned, from which direction thr drone will come. Possibly, Russia has implemented the same drone recognition systems, thousands of cheap mobile phones, recognizing the sound of the drones/cruise missiles and sending a phone message. Less sound, less data to track them.
Can we do south one next?
Pretty fly for a UAV guy

Good thing it’s not slow as shit loud as fuck and low flying otherwise a competent force might be able to … nevermind it’s Russia .
Love the tsssk . Like yep those chickens coming all the way home to roost now .
Literary and Historical Reference: Mozdok and Mozdok Airfield were two of the locations discussed in Arkady Babchenko’s book *One Soldier’s War*. It was heavily used as a staging area in the Chechen Wars.
What is the size of a drone that big?
The fact civilians are recording this with no fear shows you the difference between a Ukrainian attack and a Russian one.
