A couple of things.

1) No UAV has range to go from Ukraine to Moscow, so this was flown from inside Russia, which makes a Ukrainian attempt difficult but certainly not impossible.
2) Is this was an assassination attempt, why fly it into the dome at night where no one is and which would at best make a small hole in the roof?


It's very clearly not a military attempt at anything

My guess, is that there is some sort of system in place to take out drones.
Someone flew a drone over the Kremlin, and it got blown up by said system.
Russia then uses this as an excuse to say Ukraine tried to kill Putin.

Looks like the drone explodes just after it passes over the building. It didn't even destroy the flag, doubt it did any real harm to the building. Why is Russia so bad at faking stuff?


This is probably the 3rd or 4th take and the 2 guys are climbing the building a little early this time to replace the flag.

This just reeks of inside job amateurism.
That is the name of the game with the FSB. Remember when they framed someone they arrested for being a Nazi, and leaders in the FSB had told the setup guy to get three SIM cards for the fake evidence but the guy staging ended up buy copies of EA's SIMS game?

My bet is false flag because Russia.

How would Ukraine get a drone to Moscow anyway? Unless it was a full on military UAV, but then the explosion would have been bigger.

I question the authenticity of that video. That building is huge, the drone would appear like a spec on the screen if the proportions were right, yet it can be seen clearly.

Putin's entire rise to power was an amateur false flag op using the FSB to blow up apartments and blaming it on the Chechens. The FSB got caught planting the explosives by civilians and babushkas.

I was thinking that the smart move (Sorry bad phrasing but whatever) would be a terror attack during the May parade.

Kill a few dozen Russian civilians, blow up a couple of kids, put it at Ukraines feet and it rallies the Russian people.

Maybe someone was reading Red Storm Rising.
Some news agencies reported last week that a drone loaded with explosives was shot shown while headed towards the Kremlin with the purpose to assassinate Putin. They said that was the reason for the missile attacks the next day on civilians.

Im pretty skeptical of this video as well.

LOL can literally see someone crawling up the 'dome. Putin making an astonishing escape after chilling in the dome all night?

This is Sims 3 quality false flag. The real travesty is that plenty of people in russia are likely gobbling it up.

This sounds like a scenario where someone "fell out of a window", as is normal operating procedure in Russia.

If Ukraine wanted to try and kill Putin they'd be launching drones at a bunker in some far flung Moscow suburb.

The Russian is so dumb, Ukraine could just retrofit a HIMARS system to look a little more Soviet, paint some Zs on it, and drive all the way to Moscow in it and no one would bat an eye. Then you #### Putin's #### up raining holy hell down on him on May 9th on state television. Of course, a suicide mission, but I'm sure you'd have lots of volunteers eager for revenge on the orc manager.

Yeah, so it was Russia that blew up the Nordstream pipeline:


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...rike-analysis/

Pictures and intercepted tramissions place 4 Russian ships with transponders off that have capabilitiues to do this work in the area right before explosion. Thbey've been sabotaging undersea cables and wind farms in the area for a while

The only surprising part is that they were successful in their mission.

I honestly can't tell if those are people or if it glare or lights causing an optical illusion. The people (if that is what they are), just look too big relative to the building. But that could be an optical illusion too I guess.
