Like, the 3 SIM cards - that was laughable, but also believable as it could boil down to some idiot in the field... But things like this "assassination attempt" on the Kremlin... Who looks at that and thinks 'that's good enough to show the world' and who do they think they're fooling?

Russian domestic audience to justify another round of mobilizations and counter the Ukrainian counter offensive. We've seen US rubes gullible enough to believe GOP lies, there are arguably much more of that type of person in Russia.
We've seen throwing meat at the Ukrainians manage to stall the counter offensives last year in Kharkiv and Donbass, at a cost of 100K Russian casualties... looks like they are aiming to do the same again.
