Kyiv hit by biggest drone attack since war began
BBC ^ | 11/25/2023 | James Waterhouse

Russia has launched its biggest drone attack on Kyiv since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began last year, the city's mayor has said.

Residents were woken by explosions before dawn on Saturday, and for more than six hours, the booms of Kyiv's air defences echoed through the city.

There was wave after wave of attacks from the north and east.

Officials said that more than 75 Iranian-made Shahed drones were fired at the capital, and 74 were shot down.

With Russia's dwindling missile stocks, Shahed drones are seen as a cheap alternative. They are slower than ballistic missiles and have a distinctive wingspan.

Russia has been running out of drones-ammunition for a long time.

“With Russia’s dwindling missile stocks, Shahed drones are seen as a cheap alternative.”

The media narrative is alive and well.
Puny and weak Russia is running out of munitions.
It will be an easy task to go in and establish a regime change.
Putin is scared!

Blah, blah, blah.

“74 Iranian drones not stronk as bull.”

Perhaps, but one did get through, and given past attacks, it wouldn’t surprise me if that drone managed to hit 50 or 60 targets.

This clearly shows Putin’s desperation to get this war over ASAP, so he doesn’t have to do another mobilization

It won’t work, of course, Ukraine isn’t surrendering

So Putin can explain to his country why he needs to condemn another 100,000 Russian sons to their deaths

December 13th is looming for Patrushev.

Does he run Putin’s double for President?

Or does he install his son Dmitry?

Popcorn time.

Putin’s looking pretty glum lately ... maybe we should call him “Glumbo”

the unsuccessful war seems to be wearing heavily on him

(same thing happened with Hitler)

The agreement was signed by a negotiating team from Kiev and then “thrown into the dustbin of history.”
