#7  The Daily Mail generally shows its work

Indeed. Mi6’s handiwork is evident in every ridiculous BS propaganda piece this joke of a rag puts out

#6  We Russians are clean! I mean, squeaky!
"But movies prove Rooskies are sneaky!"
We never got caught!
"Aha! Just as I thought!"
And thus back and forth, ever more shrieky.

The NYT article is paywalled, so I know no more than that, but you’re much cleverer than I about computer stuff. ;-)

#4  Anyone notice that if you read to the end of the article, they debunk their own headline? To wit:

1) Nobody has found this brand of camera (Nikon) in Ukraine. The drone camera in the video looks to be a regular Canon DSLR.
2) The speed cameras have a fixed-focus lens set at 50 feet, not real useful on a drone.

Interestingly, the article never offers a source for the accusation. It just says the Rus are blamed. By who? By the article apparently.
