The first part of the article was about the Russians hitting targets in and around Kiev...
“The U.K. intelligence said the Iranian drones are “slow and fly at low altitudes” with a small explosive payload, unable to fulfill “the deep strike function which Russia probably aspired to use it for.”
Even when shot down they still either explodes or start fires
Bigger and better Iranian hardware on the way.
21st century version of the Paris Gun.
The Neocons wanted a real war, they’re now getting it.
Elsewhere, in southern and eastern Ukraine, notice that the trees are losing their leaves making hiding in the EVER PRESENT WOODLINES surrounding the open fields much less effective. Things happen when you can’t hide. Just sayin’.

Wait, what! I thought the propaganda was that no nations would align with Russia. Of course, anyone paying attention knew that was all bunk.
On Free Republic, the Russophiles applaud the terrorism
Defeat on the battlefield forces Putin to make a Kim like show
So “a small explosive payload” is good.
But how are they being shot down?
I’m concerned that drones may be cheaper than the weapons used to down them.
Which is great when Ukraine is using drones. Not so great when Russia uses them.
****************************************
Energy infrastructure within Russia should be a legitimate target since Russia is targeting Ukraines.
Ukraine already took out the thermal plant in Belgorod.
I think Ukraine should waste a missile hitting a target near the Nuke plants east of Moscow. Just a warning shot, that Ukraine can do the same to Russia that Russia has been doing to Ukraine.
I want to take this opportunity to personally thank the Iranian government officials that made this so. Thank you and may God bless you.
“The best way for Putin to hold on to power is to end his invasion today. He could declare victory regarding the defense of Donbas, and then order his diplomats to settle into a long negotiation about the borders and political rights of those living in Donbas. Most Russians — elites and the masses — would support him. Fanatic imperialists do not have the means or popular appeal to overthrow Putin. That is pure fantasy.”
~ Michael McFaul
While Russia is beefing up its forces in Belarus, the Supreme Russian Commander for military operations in Ukraine, General Surovikin, made the following comment in recent days:
I don’t want to sacrifice the lives of the Russian soldiers in a partisan war of hoards of fanatics armed by NATO.
We’ve got enough power and technical means to lead Ukraine to total capitulation.

In other words, the General, knowing the capability of the forces under his command and knowing the missions he and his staff are planning for them, is confident he has the means to force the surrender of Ukraine. No mention of negotiations. The word, “capitulation” is not ambiguous in its meaning.
There is another possibility to entertain–this is an elaborate feint by Russia designed to force Ukraine to deploy already weakened forces to the northern border to defend against a possible invasion from the north. This will make it difficult, if not impossible, for Ukraine to send reinforcements to the south in a timely manner if Russia decides to launch an offensive to clear out the Donetsk Republic or attack Nikolayev.
