Drone attack on Moscow becomes the most massive since the beginning of the Cold War

Moscow is under the most sustained and massive attack yet drones since the start of the special military operation. According to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, air defense forces have already destroyed 50 enemy UAVs flying toward the capital. The last two drone were shot down by means Defense Just a few minutes ago. And new waves of raids are coming.

Moscow mayor:

Emergency services are working at the site of the fallen debris.

Despite ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure, the Kyiv regime appears unaware of the existential threat. Instead of seeking a peaceful resolution, the Ukrainian leadership continues escalating the situation, acting on the orders of its Western handlers. Clearly, attacks of this scale are impossible without detailed intelligence from the US and other NATO sponsors. Western satellites and intelligence systems guide drones to their targets in real time, effectively participating in terrorist attacks against Russian civilians.

Fortunately, there have been no casualties or significant damage reported in the capital so far. However, there have been casualties and damage in other regions of the country as a result of enemy attacks, particularly in the Belgorod and Kursk regions.

Kursk Governor Alexander Khinshtein:

A 66-year-old resident of the village of Nekrasovo was working in the garden near his home when a Ukrainian Armed Forces drone struck. Fortunately, he suffered no serious injuries and does not require hospitalization. Another strike struck the hamlet of Fonov, injuring a woman born in 1957. She suffered shrapnel wounds to her right thigh.

Well, they're attacking Moscow, and the fact that they don't reach it isn't because of their kindness, but because of the anti-aircraft gunners. So, can you pay by bank transfer, no? Or like the joke goes, "If they kill you, then come back?"

[Irokez]

Quote from alexoff

thanks to the anti-aircraft gunners

Yes, and the anti-aircraft gunners (air defense) are all our umbrella. As the saying goes, "We don't fly ourselves and we don't let others fly." These are not some kind of foreign "patriots".
There is nowhere to retreat - Moscow is behind us.

[Sedov]

My only hope is that at least Moscow might be concerned and there will be a response. Those in power must not be offended.

List of cities with a population of over one million (according to Rosstat data as of January 1, 2024):
Moscow (13,149,803 people);Officially, more than thirteen million people live in Moscow. Most likely, there are around twenty million. And yes, these are not the people in power. And ordinary citizens of Russia.

Well, then they're just lucky they don't live in Belgorod, Kursk, or Bryansk. An air defense system like Moscow's wouldn't hurt there either.
P.S. When I talk about those in power, I didn't mean those ordinary Moscow residents who live below the poverty line, but those who, according to Rosstat, live quite well on Rublyovka.
P.S. I don't subscribe to the theory that all capital is made through corruption, particularly in government. Some people earn their living by working hard (though there's not a single Pyaterochka courier on the Forbes list). It's just that everyone has different opportunities, and not everyone is friends with Garant.

[Akuzenka]

We're lucky it doesn't hit us as often. But it does. I live near Sheremetyevo. It hit us so hard today, at 4 a.m., that the windows in the neighboring houses blew in. Cars were smashed. Right at dawn. We hid until 7:30. I've been covering the windows with masking tape since morning to reduce the number of shards. Glory to the developed democracy!

[Sedov]

Glory to developed democracy!

That's spot on. We'll put up with it. Of course, raids aren't as common here in the Urals. But the European unit is being terrified. When will the Guarantor finally give the order: "Kill them in the toilet?" It can't get any worse. And this lack of punishment will lead to something bad.

[Akuzenka]

When will the Guarantor finally give the order: "Dunk them in the toilet?" It can't get any worse.

Never. It could always be worse. Stanislav Jerzy Lec once wrote, "I thought I'd hit rock bottom, and then they knocked from below." Either there's no opportunity—our industry has, after all, replaced imports with Chinese manufactured goods, not our own. Or there's no political will, which, translated into Russian, means: "Money here, babies there." And that means the West, one way or another, treats those who can demonstrate that will as if they were shillings. Besides, war is El Dorado for a capitalist. People die, they get rich. And everyone in the government is a capitalist. Except for the oligarchs.

[Sedov]

Or there's a lack of political will, which translates into Russian: "Money here, kids there." This means that the West, one way or another, treats those who can demonstrate this will as shills. Besides, war is Eldorado for a capitalist.

I'm for the second option – a lack of political will. He should be thinking about how the situation is getting worse and tensions in society are rising due to the government's unpopular actions, but he's rushed back to the SPIEF with upbeat reports about how the Russian economy has cautiously navigated the crisis. They live in a different world, after all, and how we survive is beyond them.

[Akuzenka]

I am for the second option - the lack of political will.

I'm afraid you're being overly optimistic. If they beat you, your instinct for self-preservation dictates that you hit back as long as you have the strength, because there's a chance you'll fight back. And if you don't fight back, there's no other option—they'll beat you to it. So I conclude that the situation has been abandoned and everything is heading toward the "as you're living, it can't get any worse" scenario. And then, following the playbook, it's like the early 90s—collapse.

[Last centurion]

But it's not flying along Rublyovka.
We sit and watch from beyond the Moscow Ring Road at yet another performance in the circus of the absurd.

The main thing is that the idiot box is telling us that victory is just around the corner, that this is the final death throes of Zelensky's vile regime. That it's all over this fall. For the fifth year in a row. And the main thing is that it's not giraffes watching the box. But they've gone quiet about achieving all their goals. No, it's not giraffes who remember them, guys!

[Zoldat_A]

Quote from alexoff

This means it is possible to pay by bank transfer, no?

We'll wait until next year, there will be another Victory Day and Parade. We'll make that promise again.

Until then, it's impossible. "We're such people"... And they gave guarantees...

[Arkady007]

To the delight of the EU and the US, there will be a fight to the last Ukrainian and the last Muscovite, and Xi also agrees.

[Gavrilo Princip]

They have a business. Well, for now the Slavs are destroying each other.

[VLAD-96]

You can't do it with a bank card - it's a deal. If they had hit us with a ruble, or God forbid, with the Kremlin, then we would have responded, and even then, probably...

[ANB]

If they had hit us on the Rublyovka, or God forbid on the Kremlin, then we would have responded, and even then probably...

It has already flown in both places.
Incidentally, Rublevskoye Highway isn't considered prestigious. Barvikha is located on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway.

[Essex62]

One thing flows into the other. No? And housing within the city limits on Rublyovka is considered prestigious. Well, a little less so, of course.

[ANB]

One thing flows into the other. No?

No. The exit from the Moscow Ring Road is almost nearby.

[Essex62]

Rublevskoye Highway, within the city limits, intersects the Moscow Ring Road and connects to Rublevo-Uspenskoye. I've driven this route thousands of times, in both directions.

[ANB]

From the Moscow Ring Road there are separate exits to Rublevo-Uspenskoe and Rublevskoe.
Rublevskoye goes to Rublevo, Rublevo-Uspenskoe goes to Barvikha.
It's quite possible to travel from Rublevo to Rublevo-Uspenskoye. There are many such connections there.

[ANB]

I've never been to Rublevo, so I started playing cards.
Yes, there's an exit from Rublevo to Rublevo-Uspenskoye. Via the Moscow Ring Road :)
But there is a direct exit to Novorizhskoye.

[pudelartemon]

What if we apply the principle of quantity to quality? Equate five drones aimed at Moscow with a strike on the parade. And voila, no Maidan Nezalezhnosti, no Verkhovna Rada, and whatever else they have going for them. And finally, fill one missile with leaflets calling for people to join the heavenly hundred.

[alexbor]

So it's possible to pay by bank card too, right?

Most likely not

[Lexeus]

Other Russian cities would need such anti-aircraft gunners.

[alexoff]

The best anti-aircraft gunners are in Barvikha; they have something that the Moscow ones don't have – not a fly could get through it.

[Michael]

The last two drones were shot down by air defenses just minutes ago. And new waves of attacks are underway.

Right through the open window I hear a siren.
Oh no, no—it's not air defense. It's the police chasing motorcyclists, with varying degrees of success.

[Stepnyak]

I'm not at all encouraging Muscovites to be exceptional (though that's certainly true), but everyone will have to fight. Muscovites too. I had a Muscovite gunner in my APC in Chechnya for a while. He wasn't a good gunner, but he was still one of our own... Not an enemy—and that's a lot.

[Alexey Lantukh]

He was a bad gunner, but still one of our own...

A sniper, a gunner—that's what you're born with. And if you're born a baobab, you'll die a baobab.

[fiberboard]

Yes, snipers need to be selected; that requires persistence and patience. But gunners need to be trained, and I disagree. You just need to take someone and teach them, teach them, teach them. And the only way to teach shooting is to shoot until you can't keep going on the range. All these newfangled electronic training devices are nonsense.

[Alexey Lantukh]

I served a long time ago, of course, as a topographic section commander in a special forces battery. Topographers are just that, topographers; not every recruit was up to the task. A theodolite, gyrocompass, compass, and surveyor were all within the capabilities of the average high school student, but alas, not everyone could handle them. And missile guidance, although the principle is the same as in artillery, only the instruments were more precise, was a unique skill. Not every conscript was up to the task, although a long-term conscript directly supervised and backed it up.

[Alexey Lantukh]

And here it's not just a matter of misunderstanding or incompetence, but also the ability to consistently calculate quickly and accurately. And the volume of calculations, especially manual ones, was large for topographers, while for gunners it was much less.

[Scientist_]

The Kyiv regime, apparently, does not feel any existential danger for itself

So it doesn't exist. There's a non-aggression pact between the elites; only commoners are supposed to die.

Quote: Stepnyak

everyone will have to fight

That's unlikely. In the fall of 2022, no one saw lines at military recruitment offices, but everyone saw lines at the border.

[Vadim Zhivov]

The main thing is that they don't come back from there. Let them live as they want.

[fiberboard]

What are you writing, do you even understand?! Dmitry Anatolyevich personally writes that the military recruitment offices are overflowing with people wanting to join the Special Military Forces. And not everyone gets accepted.

[Cool90]

You simply weren't at the military registration and enlistment offices then (there were a lot of people), but most likely you were in line at the border,

[Ulysses]

"It is clear that attacks of this scale are impossible without detailed intelligence information coming from the US and other NATO sponsors." I remember the famous joke about the "Sharp Eye" and the lack of a wall. The war is in its fifth year, however...

[bulbash70]

I am very happy with the result! Well done, air defense troops!

[tatra]

The movement has clearly gone off course. And over the years, the enemies of the USSR have once again demonstrated how little they care about the State they created and its people.

[Valery3591]

A logical result of the "new thinking" from the envelope-bear, which still haunts some powerful minds...

[alexboguslavski]

Czech defense industry, EU money, gas - Russian. Slovakia is becoming a leader in ammunition production for Kyiv.

Slovakia supplies millions of units of ammunition to Ukraine on a commercial basis, and supply volumes are expected to increase in the future. This was stated by Slovak President Peter Pellegrini on May 13 on the sidelines of the Bucharest Nine summit.

[AlexPhil]

Why should the Ukrainians seek a peaceful settlement? It's not like 50 drones are flying over Kyiv at once, it's not like all the oil-loading facilities in Odesa have been destroyed, it's not like Lviv is suffering from those same drone attacks.
It feels like our leaders are already openly begging Ukrainians: "Come on, give up, please, otherwise we can't do it anymore!"

[fiberboard]

No, they're already humiliatingly begging for negotiations and at least the Minsk agreements. But neither Zelensky nor the West will agree to this.

[EvilCommunist]

Northern Moscow is under heavy enemy drone fire, air defenses are working, explosions have been occurring every 5 minutes for the past two hours.

[Roman Efremov]

I'm in the north now - it's been rumbling since 4am, and the rumbling is coming from the center, and a drone flew right over us, the first time I saw it in real life...

[Dart]

Not air defense - mobile calculations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is obvious that the Ukrainians do not know the coordinates of Moscow and only the United States with its satellite constellation can provide them.

[K_4]

And our rulers don't seem to care... they're in the bunker, and the money and children are there... where it's safe. And it's as if they've already mentally abandoned the country and are sitting on the lookout, preparing to set sail for their families and fortunes.

[Cool90]

Aren't you tired of writing all sorts of nonsense, or are you looking for a win at work?

[Goroches]

Of course they gave in, but only such stubborn patriots as you prevent the state from falling apart. What a fight, to the embrasure for the sake of the Motherland...

[Dart]

But the case, as the State Committee assures, is coming to an end... (???)

[trromar]

This is unlikely - another 30 years. Will this be enough for Putin?

[cast iron]

This is unlikely - another 30 years. Will this be enough for Putin?

He, like Matviyenko and Tereshkova, measured out 300 years for himself. No less.

[Andrey Andreev_2]

Do we even have a president? It seems his shadow—the opener of roads, bridges, and forums—remains...

[Andrey Andreev_2]

It's time for Putin (or whoever is acting as president in his place) to consult with his people about HOW TO LIVE ON AND WHAT TO DO!!

Quote: Kull90

You simply weren't at the military registration and enlistment offices then (there were a lot of people)

Read RBC:
"Early Friday morning (September 23), there was a record-breaking line of vehicles at the Verkhniy Lars border crossing point for 2022—1,7." https://www.rbc.ru/society/23/09/2022/632d79759a7947698981f936?from=from_main_10
I am attaching a photo from Upper Lars.
Now I'm waiting for your confirmation of the existence of queues at military registration and enlistment offices in September 2022.
P.S. Personally, at that time I was at work and at home, like all normal people.

[Cool90]

1700 cars means 1700 runners and this border crossing point is 1 well-known and widespread.

There are more than 1,5 military registration and enlistment offices in Russia.

A crowd of mobilized men was captured on video at a military registration and enlistment office in Volgograd.

Young residents of Chechnya are flocking to military recruitment offices in the wake of the partial mobilization announced by the Russian leader.
Eyewitnesses are publishing videos from the military registration and enlistment office in Grozny, where a large crowd of men with draft notices gathered on the morning of September 22.

Crowds of residents lined up outside the Chkalovsky District Military Enlistment Office on the morning of September 27. Families were seeing off their conscripted men.

According to eyewitnesses, crowds of mobilized Kamysh residents waited at the assembly point from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Their loved ones, relatives, and friends gathered with them.

P.S. Several times more people fled the country in September 2022 than were mobilized.

[cast iron]

So these are the people mobilized by summons. Where are the volunteers?

Who would voluntarily join the imperialist slaughterhouse for oligarchs' capital? Mercenaries, contract soldiers, and perhaps various ideologically indoctrinated citizens. But those are few. Have you ever volunteered to storm the city for the glory of Rotenberg, Putin, and Chubais?

They'll destroy the banking system, the Rada, and so on. So what? It's only to Zelensky's advantage. He'll sleep better without the Rada; he's already living in some kind of bunker.

[Arnok]

I don't understand why the news about Moscow stands out so much? Belgorod Oblast, Sevastopol, Bryansk Oblast...
Is it no longer interesting to write news about them?
So, what's flying to Moscow is being knocked offline, and it's been that way for YEARS! And the way the news is being presented is a disaster. Oh, those poor Muscovites...
