A stupid teenage boy trick that actually worked.

The Russian presidential administration said Wednesday that the Kremlin was attacked by drones overnight in an attempt on President Vladimir Putin’s life.
Moscow residents had reported hearing two explosions behind Kremlin walls shortly after 2 a.m. local time, after which the lights went out. Footage shared by residents in a local Telegram channel captured the incident, as smoke was seen filling the sky above the Kremlin. Videos also appeared to show part of the Kremlin on fire.
Now, authorities say it was a brazen attack by Ukraine using two drones, both of which they say have been destroyed.
No injuries were reported, according to the TASS news agency. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin was not at the presidential residence at the time.
The Kremlin, describing the incident as a “planned terrorist attack” and “assassination attempt on the president of Russia,” is now threatening to take “retaliatory measures.”
A spokesman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied that the country was behind any attack on the Kremlin and accused Moscow of deliberately “escalating the situation ahead of May 9,” when Russia routinely flaunts its military prowess to mark Victory Day.
“Separately, the phrasing by the terrorist state is surprising. A terrorist attack is houses destroyed in Dnipro and Uman, or a rocket attack on a railway station in Kramatorsk, and many other tragedies,” Zelensky’s spokesman Serhii Nykyforov said.
The Kremlin’s official version of events left many unanswered questions. Witnesses said the two separate explosions occurred more than 10 minutes apart—meaning federal protection units guarding the Kremlin either did not react to the first blast or are exceptionally bad at their jobs.
A Moscow resident interviewed by the independent outlet Verstka said he heard the first blast at about 2:30 a.m. The second one, he said, happened several minutes later...

Putin says now it’s time to take out Zelensky. Game on.
Yeh...like he was in that building...
If I recall, Putin tried to take out Zelensky first.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
so Russia is admitting that its air defenses are so lousy that Ukrainian drones can now freely penetrate right up to Moscow and the Kremlin?
if Russia can’t even control their own airspace, then this war is soon OVER!!!
What? Again?
This could be a false flag on the part of Moscow to justify an attack on the Ukrainian capital or an internal power struggle in the Kremlin. Their press lies as much as does the Western press.
I think I read that back in December....Putin mostly stays in a bunker about a thousand miles east of Moscow.
Assasination attempt using retail fireworks that set a flag on fire.Must have been an enemy on a shoestring budget.
If Zelensky were smart he would say: “Hey I would love to claim responsibility for trying to kill that SOB, but we had no drones in the area.”
“Our intel suggests it was a Russian drone launched from within Russia, I guess old Vlad is not very poplar with his own troops.”
Russian false flag operation.
As Reagan correctly called them, an evil empire .
Russia is just lazy. They could build a great nation with hard work and by valuing their people .
But instead they choose the war and invade mode to steal things from other countries.
More likely it was us that did it.
NOPE I believe is was a US drone!!!
Hah, that is why this kind of reporting is so stupid.
Since the drone is recoverable...it will have a signature...let’s wait and see...
Without question, Matthias Rust is the individual who ended the Soviet Union.
Since 1943 the Soviets bragged of Moscow’s impenetrable air defense system. In an era of cruise missiles (per stealth), that young man demonstrated that the emperor indeed had no clothes.
It will probably come back as a big ole flurry of supersonic missiles aimed at Kiev.
Somewhat like the ones in NYC and the Pentagon. Those worked really well to our horror.
