#3 These Regnum folks must be paid by the word.

They are journalists, bless their hearts. 350 drones is a big strike. They must have been saving up. I wonder how many actually made it to their targets.

As a result, these drones killed three people, almost two dozen were injured. The facades of several residential buildings were also damaged, and several dozen cars were burned.

That sounds rather like collateral damage from air defense intercepts. Do we know what the Ukies were shooting at?

#4 An effort to show the world they haven't been emasculated, before they accept the cease fire.

#7 used a gas pipeline to move 800 special ops to Kursk.

The first image that comes to mind is that they poured the troops in at one end and opened the spigot for them to pour out into a bucket at the other, Pliny Black3921, but that can’t possibly be right.

#8 The German army had a special name for this brutal hand to hand combat in the streets of
Stalingrad, they called it Rattenkrieg; "the war of the rats." German soldiers thought the name was quite
fitting, as the Red Army developed devastating tactics utilizing Stalingrad's sewer system. The Soviets
would send assault squads of about half a dozen men through the sewers behind German lines, peak up
through a manhole and wait for a German column to pass. Then they would open fire with machineguns,
and by the time German soldiers could react, the Soviets hid back in the sewers.8
