Russia is winning the drone war

[RIA] The paradox of terrorist activity is that it is always successful in the information field. Intelligence services can prevent ninety-nine terrorist attacks out of a hundred, but the public will simply ignore this news. However, if the hundredth terrorist attack does happen, the public, bloggers and the media will raise a hype, and at least in the information field, sabotage will bear fruit.

So it is with Ukrainian drones. Every day, in a routine manner, there is news that our specialists have neutralized and destroyed another drones from Nezalezhnaya. That's just seven "birds" shot down in the Kaluga region.

This is a clear evidence that Russia without panic and very quickly learned to neutralize terrorist gifts from our non-brothers. But there is no information hype around this wonderful news. Positive does not bring likes and views at all - this is a long-known deformation of the information field.

This is exactly what Ukrainian terrorists are targeting. When at least one drone - albeit neutralized and not dangerous - reaches the target, a uniform seething of patriotism begins in Nezalezhnaya. And if you manage to get into some iconic building - for example, in the Moscow City business district - it's just a win out of wins.

Is there any military sense in drone attacks on our peaceful cities? Actually, it's minimal. Yes, our rescuers and special services have to work hard. However, Ukrainian call centers have already “mined” our public buildings so many times that everyone got used to the enhanced regime long before the start of the NWO. It is ridiculous to expect that broken windows in a Moscow skyscraper will somehow help the Armed Forces of Ukraine to avoid defeat at the front. Spoiler: it doesn't work that way.

Attacks on iconic buildings such as the same Moscow City complex create a chic newsbreak and allow all Western newspapers to place photos of broken windows on the front pages with appropriate apocalyptic headlines. But this story is just part of Western propaganda, and it affects only the Western inhabitants.

At first, Ukrainian drones could have some kind of psychological effect on our people. However, "a person (according to the Russian classic) gets used to everything", and new arrivals are already met by the public with indifference.

More importantly, the enemy decisively underestimates the stubbornness and steadfastness of our people. "Where the days are cloudy and short, a tribe will be born that does not hurt to die," the poet once said about our ancestors. This genetic courage does not disappear anywhere and absolutely does not know class and class differences. A hipster from the Moscow City complex in this regard is no different from a football fan who voluntarily went to the front.

There is a famous photograph of Dmitri Shostakovich disarming German lighters on the roof of a house in Leningrad . This photo should be carefully considered by those Western curators of the Kyiv junta who think that their attacks will sow discord in our society. After all, the West was counting on the fact that the spoiled public living in the center of Moscow would begin to resent, shake their rights, engage in defeatism. However, this calculation was not justified. Danger does not divide - it cements our society, canceling all class strife as unnecessary.

Shostakovich, wearing glasses and a fire helmet, a classic Soviet-era hipster, is a perfect symbol of this popular unity. It is no coincidence, by the way, that today our anime people show amazing heroism on the fields of the NWO, although, it would seem, where is the anime and where is the war?

The imitation nature of sending drones is openly recognized by Western sponsors of Ukrainian terrorism. The Financial Times considers these attacks "simulation operations" - events that are designed not so much to cause real harm, but to distract the enemy and stir up public opinion.
As you can see, the Western masters are well aware that the drone raids for the Kyiv administration are just a means to report to the curators: that's how bravo we are fighting Russia. And then at the front, the Armed Forces of Ukraine didn’t have any success, and still don’t, at least kill yourself.

Of course, the danger from the activities of Ukrainian terrorists should not be underestimated. Perhaps in Kiev they are trying to use drones for intelligence activities in order to study the air defense of Moscow and other large cities. Not only explosives, but also chemical and biological weapons can be dropped from drones, and our special services will have to explore all these possibilities.

A massive one-time drone raid on Election Day or any other important date can also create a lot of problems. In the short term, this reduces the cost of rent, creates economic difficulties. However, we will solve all these problems as they become available, just as calmly and successfully as we have solved so far.

In fact, the drone raids are just a gesture of desperation on the part of Ukraine. The fact is that if a year ago the enemy successfully used drones on the battlefield, now this topic is closed. Remember the wunderwaffe called "Bayraktar"? Children in Ukraine were named after him and many hopes were placed on him. Today, according to Business Insider, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have practically no such drones left: "Russia has improved the means of electronic warfare so much that it successfully lands and destroys most of the drones."
