Nobody was prepared for this evolution of warfare. You can now build an explosive-carrying device the size and radar profile of a large bird.

But, for what it’s worth, Russian state media is saying that it was saboteurs… which is probably more likely given the distance from the frontline than an Ukrainian-operated drone.

Ukraine's done this with store bought drones, plastic explosives, and some knowledge of frequency communication to get past Russian jammers. AP published an article on Ukraine's drone operation rather recently.

Everyone does this with store bought drones (mostly sourced from China, FWIW). It’s so incredibly affordable it’s crazy.

Just state media said it? Has any other media besides the very biased one checked it?

That's what the headline says.

I know, I was just asking if there were other sources talking about it. Ukraine always says russia has no more missiles then gets crippled by a thousand of them. Russia says theres no air force but then have to deal with some leftover helicopters. They all say things in war.

I don't know. I only post what I find on my news feed, which happens to be Reuters, UPI, and AP. I didn't see it anywhere else.

That’s two different things. Saying things about Russia is different from saying what you did. One is speculation and the other is first hand.
