Payback (?)


It's not like authoritarians to admit to the kind of failure that allows a foreign government to penetrate its air defenses and attack their capitol building from 300 miles away.

And when the drone is obviously of the small-n-slow variety, the thing did not come from "outa town".

So - 2 basic probabilities in my mind
  1. Ukrainian Spec Ops got close in and did it as a kind of Doolittle Bombs Tokyo thing - but that has to raise the aforementioned question of failure on the part of Russian security forces
  2. It was homegrown - Russian Resistance sending a message to Mr Putin that he's not going to survive this war. But Putin can't admit that possibility, so see #1 above - as the least bad option.
Curiouser and curiouser.


Video appears to show smoke over Kremlin after alleged drone strike

MOSCOW, May 3 (Reuters) - A video circulating on Russian social media on Wednesday appeared to show a plume of smoke over Moscow's Kremlin, after what the presidential administration said was a Ukrainian drone attack aimed at President Vladimir Putin, who has a residence in the walled complex.

The video was posted in the early hours of Wednesday on a group for residents of a neighbourhood that faces the Kremlin across the Mosvka River and picked up by Russian media, including the Telegram channel of the military news outlet Zvezda.

Separately, the Kremlin said that the May 9 Victory Day parade would go ahead in Moscow despite the incident, the state-run TASS news agency reported.
