    Welcome to the war Moscow.

    Stopping in the street to post Instagram reaction videos of drone strikes is a luxury that few others in this war have.

      I was thinking that they may not even realize it’s an attack. Stuff blows up all the time in Russia from gas leaks and general lack of government regulation.

      Need the explosion to throw some Ukrainian flags or something. Maybe a modified t shirt cannon could throw t shirts that say “all you have to do is leave Ukraine” or something. Would actually be a pretty powerful message tbh

        I think they were filming the sky because they heard an unusual aircraft, and they were probably able to put two and two together immediately after the explosion and realize it was an attack

      Eli5: why would Ukraine not try to hit the most critical infrastructure? What could it gain from a random attack in the capital? Only to show off what it can do? Bring the wat to the Russians?

    Congrats Moscovite, you’ve reached the finding out portion of this exercise.

    Has Ukraine claimed responsibility for this attack? Any news articles about it? The target looks like a parking structure

      I’d also like to know this. It was a building based on photos, but I also see zero statement from Ukraine still.

      Just lots of vague reports about Zelinsky conveying that “war, is coming back to Moscow.”

      How does that do anything besides motivate the severely disgruntled Russian people facing conscription? Is it because the reports of them only conscripting outside Moscow are true? Or is it just a false flag?

      It just seems odd to see a massive attack, and zero actual statement from the supposed attacker.

        Even if it makes someone conscript, what weapons will they give them? On what vehicle will they send them?

        They will just become another meatshield, dying less than a day after deployment

    Listen to those pathetic whimpers. Not so nice when it’s happening to you now is it. Ukraine’s civilians have had to endure this for more than a year.

      I don’t think it is good to enjoy the terror of random civilians, even if they are Russian.

            This is just a suggestion, but if you ever find yourself living in Russia then you might not want to answer polls honestly…

              Lol, like they actually took a poll and didn’t just throw random, high support for war, number up there.

                That would have been the nice thing for them to do. That way they wouldn’t be giving naive people the opportunity to say something stupid.

                (I don’t think that right now Russia would crack down on people taking polls, but I would still smile and nod since there’s a significant chance that in the future, they will…)
