Drone strikes oil tank at airfield in Russia's Kursk region
Reuters ^ | December 6, 2022 | Staff Report

Posted on 12/06/2022 7:13:11 AM PST by Timber Rattler

A drone has struck an airfield in the Russian region of Kursk bordering Ukraine, setting fire to an oil storage tank, the regional governor said on Tuesday.

"There were no casualties. The fire is localised. All emergency services are working at the site," Governor Roman Starovoyt said on the Telegram messaging app.

He later said that the region had held a meeting of its "anti-terrorist commission". He did not say who was responsible for the incident.

Firefighters are currently working to tackle the blaze, which spans 500 square meters, the RIA news agency reported.

The city of Kursk is about 100 kilometres (62 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

Russia has previously accused Ukraine of carrying out drone strikes inside Russian territory, including on Monday when two air bases hundreds of miles from Ukraine were hit.

That video refers to “soviet made drones”. I doubt that. And if they were soviet made then they are junk.

Wait till the Kremlin is hit. With the bodybags and amputees coming home from Ukraine to cocky, drunk Russian Moms and Dads, we’ll see about Russian resolve. I think a peace deal is struck, giving Crimea to Putin and the rest handed back.

While it is garbage to give Putin Crimea, it’s probably for the best to end this thing and allow each side to declare “victory”.

“soviet made drones”

An analyst for DW News showed a picture of a 20 year old Soviet made drone, and explained that the Uke's had many of them were fully capable of refitting them for use.

Russia attacks Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Ukraine attacks Russian military infrastructure.

The world sees this. As the world sees the Russian propagandists pretending the opposite is true.
