Putin’s failure to defend airspace around Moscow and St. Petersburg reminds me of the hubris of Nazi Air Marshal Goering.

“Although it has been cited in several variations, the original quotation was given by Resichsmarschall Hermann Göring in a speech to his Luftwaffe in September 1939, after France and Britain declared war and the industrial Ruhr district fell within range of their aircraft. “No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr,” he assured them. “If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Göring. You can call me Meyer.”

Meyer and its other regional spellings is a very common name in Germany. Some sources, for added irony, later re-quoted his boast as “If one enemy bomb falls on Berlin, you can call me Meyer.” The fact that Allied bombers did pound the Ruhr, however, was reason enough for Germans to start calling air raid sirens “Meyer’s trumpets,” among numerous other sarcastic references.”

The drones being used are small commercial VTOLs probably carrying relatively small incendiary IEDs that are powerful enough to rupture lines carrying highly flammable liquids. These are really easy to make

Expect to see this form of high value, soft target terrorism coming to the United States in the near future, possibly courtesy of some of newly invited migrants from places like Cuba, China, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Iran filled with Marxist revolutionaries and ISIS, the Revolutionary Guard and al Qeada style Islamic terrorist's. Or just Antifa style anarchists
