You just know this guy will suddenly commit “suicide” by jumping off a 20 story building somewhere in Moscow.

They can soon follow up by installing a sign that says “Open Latrine.”

WIKI

Shrapnel’s innovation was to combine the multi-projectile shotgun effect of canister shot, with a time fuze to open the canister and disperse the shot it contained at some distance along the canister’s trajectory from the gun. His shell was a hollow cast-iron sphere filled with a mixture of balls (“shot”) and powder, with a crude time fuze. If the fuze was set correctly then the shell would break open, either in front of or above the intended human objective, releasing its contents (of musket balls). The shrapnel balls would carry on with the “remaining velocity” of the shell. In addition to a denser pattern of musket balls, the retained velocity could be higher as well, since the shrapnel shell as a whole would likely have a higher ballistic coefficient than the individual musket balls (see external ballistics).

The explosive charge in the shell was to be just enough to break the casing rather than scatter the shot in all directions. As such his invention increased the effective range of canister shot from 300 metres (980 ft) to about 1,100 metres (3,600 ft).

The balls might be hardened and packed in napalm, so any bomb the drone carries would be likely to explode high in the air.

If it’s already been targeted, perhaps it wasn’t that secret.

“The site has been already targeted by Ukrainian attack drones...”

So this is fake news then, right.

...On May 22...the sign above the entrance to the restroom...

Even before May 22, since the start of the Zelensky Regime, Uke HomoNazis have known the location of every men's toilet in Western and Eastern Europe, so it's never been a secret.
