Putin has no cards or Gloves... Just a desire to kill civilians.
But so many unnecessary things are invented.
Ukrainian kamikaze "drones" aka converted Ukrainian-produced Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat light aircraft, have been routinely penetrating Russian Air Defenses, delivering 300kg warheads on target at a ranges up to 2000 - 3000 km, including the Russian Shaheed drone factory in Yelabuga, about 800 miles from Ukraine.
Flamingo will be harder to hit, and it will hit much harder.
During WWII the Germans used these...
It was too dangerous for the RAF pilots to get near enough to shoot it down as the resulting explosion would take out the pilot and his Spitfire.
The solution was to fly close enough to tip the wing and the auto pilot flew it into the ground.
Impossible to know if this is disinformation or a feint, or real.
Both sides actively engage in information warfare. They would be fools and idiots if they did not.
Two sets of plans, one to blabber about, and a vastly different one to implement!
If they can make that, what do they need our help for?
Your question is about as reasonable.
B. S. Inside.
Looks like an old German V1.
Preliminary reports suggests three Flamingo missiles destroyed a border patrol barracks and six patrol hovercraft. I call that a good start.
By the way, has Russia recovered from Ukraine's attacks on her refineries, or is 18% of Russian refinery capacity, more or less, still down?
That reflects a wonderful ignorance of basic economics. Oil prices are global, and shortages anywhere are reflected in prices everywhere. Any difference in the price of a product in different locations becomes an opportunity for arbitrageurs, who then close out the price difference by their activity shifting assets between the different markets until it evens out. I've made a lot of money that way over the years.
Absolutely. It is quite similar (speed, warhead weight), but larger, heavier and with a much longer range (1,800 miles, vs. 250), and much higher accuracy.
Weren't a lot of weapons for the USSR developed and built in industrial Ukraine? Those factories and experts remained after the breakup of the USSR. USSR pulled nuclear materials out, but the means for building tanks, jets and rockets remained in Ukraine.
ZeroHedge is splashing this as their lead. A generally cynical libertarian site:

Hahahahah never heard that one!
I’m sure Ukraine’s got some US/UK/NATO brains in their War department.
If Ukraine wants to escalate to the point Russia uses nuclear weapons, Kiev will be a mushroom cloud.
“Russia uses nuclear weapons”…
…and Putin dies.
