Dramatic video Thursday showed a Ukrainian drone attack on a military airfield in southern Russia as Kyiv launches an expanding wave of strikes deep inside its neighbor's territory.
Through the huge plumes of smoke filling the sky above the air base, three small explosions can be seen as a man driving through the flat landscape points his camera at the fire and delivers an expletive-laden rant.
“There it is flying by, f---. F---ing flying over again. ... It’s a serious tragedy, folks. This is serious stuff. It’s all f---ing on fire," he says. "That’s really something else. And all the new hangars, it’s all blown up in the air, f---.”
The video, like others posted to the Telegram messaging app showing the blaze, was geolocated by NBC News.

The region’s governor, Andrei Bocharov, said in a post on Telegram early Thursday that an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, attack was “repelled” but that as a result a fire broke out at a Defense Ministry facility 185 miles from the border with Ukraine.
Russian officials did not specify the nature of the facility. A Ukrainian security source told NBC News that its military attacked the region’s Marinovka air base, targeting warehouses storing anti-tank weapons and fuel.
The Ukrainian e-bike is playing chicken with the Russian Ford F-350...
Ukraine has proven to be highly innovative and effective in air defense and drone warfare. The Russo-Ukraine War is prompting a major rethink of weapons and tactics by the world’s militaries.
Like this one...?
“Andrei Bocharov, said in a post on Telegram early Thursday that an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, attack was “repelled” but that as a result a fire broke out at a Defense Ministry facility”
Ummm, OK. I’d hate to see the damage if the UAV attack had not been repelled.
(((PING!)))

You're right. If Ukraine doesn't watch out, the Russians might get angry at them and... I dunno... make war upon them... or sumthin...
Good that the Russians haven't allowed themselves to be provoked by this attack against a purely military installation. Otherwise, they might rocket-bomb a Ukrainian civilian population center. Blow up an orphanage. Destroy a shopping mall.
Oh, wait...

The Russians are terrorists.
Russia supporters condone and support the Russian terrorism in the Ukraine and Israel and the Red Sea
Yes, some of the Ukrainian Cossacks laughed at the Russians during WWII - until the Brits and the Amis handed them over after the war...

Ukraine isn’t doing this, WE ARE!!!
That’s Right! Putin should do as Stalin did: use the best Ukrainian troops and ask the US for military aid.
Are you voting for Kamala, Timber? We all know you’ve been a Never Trumper for years.
