Ukraine: Putin humiliated as Ukrainian drone attacks shut down Moscow airports
Express UK ^ | 5/21/2025 | Ciaran McGrath Toby Codd

Drone warfare once again forced Moscow into lockdown on Wednesday as three of the capital’s four airports abruptly suspended operations. Panic rippled through Domodedovo, Zhukovsky and Sheremetyevo as incoming flights were turned away and departures stalled. Sirens blared as air defences scrambled to intercept the latest wave of Ukrainian drones breaching Russian skies. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed multiple drones were shot down on approach, with emergency crews deployed to the crash sites.

Ukraine launched a large-scale drone offensive overnight, targeting multiple regions in Russia. One since-deleted clip from Oryol shared by a Kremlin-aligned Telegram channel appeared to show a flaming object falling from the sky, which some claimed was a helicopter. Russia’s Ministry of Defence said 127 drones were intercepted, including 41 over Bryansk, 37 over Oryol and 31 over Kursk. Others were downed over Moscow, Vladimir and Ryazan.

“Humiliation” isn’t that some sort of porn fetish? The online Russia haters should watch out for that three-step scenario.

1. Bait

2. Hate

3. Bate

God loves us and wants us to love others.

Baiting me into emotional rage against Russia starts a negative cycle of behavior in my own personal experience.

I hope everyone avoids such scenarios tonight.

The Houthis got to close down Ben Gurion Airport in Israel tonight for a while with one missile that got shot down.

Israel humiliated tonight?

Funny, I was just thinking how curious it is that the trashy British tabloids never run headlines like:

“Zelensky Humiliated as Kiev Airport Shut Down for Years”

Or

“Netanyahu humiliated as Houthi Missile Shuts Down Ben Gurion Airport”

I imagine there will be a humiliating response from Putin that Green Booger will soon be experiencing in return.

Oh well, what a waste. Have at it fellas!

As the SUN sets on the British Tabloid Empire... The libtard’s love the word Humilitated everywhere and over at MSNBCy, the love the Word Humilitated too:

MSNBC’s Wallace: Trump Humiliated the People of the United States

Look’s like the all the fake news got their HUMILITATED marching orders. I wonder how many beat writers it took to write an article;) The NYT’s is famous for having 3-4-5 idiots put their collective names to an article.

Can we just get MI6 and the CIA to admit they only for headlines this week with HUMILITATED in them along with either Putin or Trump.

Europeons are grasping at straws and worthless per usual.
None of the Uke drones even reached Moscow:

The EU is just as crazy as Zelensky.
And now, the pissed off Canadians are begging Trump to protect them with the Golden Dome because they can’t protect themselves.
Furthermore, the majority of sensible Germans now want out of the EU.
EU leftists are in real trouble along with their puffed up green shrimp Zelensky.

Humiliated?

When I get attacked by somebody I don’t get “humiliated,” I get pissed.

I suspect Putin is much the same.

I was thinking the same thing.

But I didn't want to sound “pro-Russian.”

What does Israel do when under missile or drone attack?

2024: https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/08/25/israel-closes-airspace-amid-hezbollah-drama-flights-diverted/

2025: https://www.visaverge.com/travel/flight-cancellations-to-israel-continue-after-ben-gurion-airport-attack/

Of course the Russians are going to shut things down.

But the fact that the Russians shot down ~260 drones, most of them, what does that actually say? https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20250521-%F0%9F%94%B4-live-russia-intercepts-ukrainian-drones-ceasefire-putin-kursk-visit

Things will never be the same after this war.

The drone will change everything.

Even after this war ends, drone technology will continue to move forward at a rapid pace IMHO.

New Russian anti-drone, drone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuEMQTJKmcQ

The nerds are taking over the battlefield all the way down to the small infantry units and their tactics etc.

I wonder how long before we have actual land based robots for combat? Not just some gee-wiz tech display, or limited capability stuff, but actual robots that do most of what an Infantryman does. When will "The Terminator" become reality?

Way to go Ukes. Sinking to the Russians level. This servs no strategic military purpose. It’s terror bombing.

The goal is to prompt a response so the western press can accuse Russia of war crimes.
