Many people seem convinced the #drone attack on the Kremlin was a false flag operation. I have doubts because:1. The incident is embarrassing for #Russia's air defense. It's weird to make a false flag operation that makes yourself look incompetent and the enemy look strong.2. The Russian "news" have a pretty calm reaction. It doesn't look like a coordinated information operation.3. The claim that the drone was defeated with electronic countermeasures doesn't fit the video.

@anderspuck Could be Russian partisans. That would explain how a small drone made it 400-500 miles inside Russia.

@anderspuck @nerdd The drones came from the eastern direction, it is unlikely that someone attacking from the west would let the drone zigzag through Moscow’s air defenses before hitting the target.

@mok0 Drones and missiles almost always make such hoops in order to be unpredictable, and the direction of approach probably rather depends on the layout of the target. Also, Ukraine is rather south than west.

@anderspuck I still lean towards the theory of a false flag op or internal Russian opposition. I fail to see what benefit Ukraine has from this attack which is nothing but symbolic, except raising the stakes for attacks on their own leadership.

@anderspuck This is a weird one.But the stranges aspect of this was the men climbing up the side of the dome. If they were NOT #Putin's people, and NOT there because of the impending attack, then who could they have been?The idea of #AntiWar #Russian citizens attacking the #Kremlin doesn't make sense, because attacking would only enflame the war further.Most importantly, how could ANYONE have gotten past Kremlin security if they didn't belong there? I sure can't imagine anyone climbing the WH roof without permission.My theory: I think Putin was hoping for propaganda images that didn't have his people in them, but that failed. He also probably wanted a burning flag-- something to really rile up the patriotic populace. But the flag wasn't hit.This was probably a failed propaganda op they were hoping had gone unnoticed, and after the images from nearby closed circuit cameras showed up on their internet, they had to admit to *something.*#RussianPropaganda #KremlinDroneStrike

@anderspuck The explosive charge on the Kremlin drone was too small to cause significant damage (about grenade strength).It was theatre rather than an attack.Russian hardliners benefit most from this, presenting it as an attack on the President and motherland. The Kremlin can use this to try and justify mobilisation and invoke the joint defence agreement with Belarus.

@anderspuck I didn't know about that one. The shape of the UAV on the company website matches the design seen on blurry images we have of the drone attacking the Kremlin, so that's actually a not a bad guess at all.That still leaves me wondering about the point of the attack, given the lack of effect it had. Probing Russian defences? A distraction?

Would have even benn better if the flag has been set on fire, though.They also states that "The Kremlin’s immediate, coherent, and coordinated response to the incident suggests that the attack was internally prepared in such a way that its intended political effects outweigh its embarrassment."

@chowderman @anderspuck the point it is it might be hardliners and it might not be Putin-approved at the same time. There is the pro-war faction supporting Putin. And there is the pro-victory faction (Girkin and co.). While there is overlap these are not the same.

@t_mkdf @anderspuck I don’t know what to think.The charge was too small (and aimed at a flag) to cause real damage, whoever sent it did it for drama effect, not damage.Ukrainian trolling?Russian hardliners?Putin wanted a green light from the Chinese to use nukes?Anders Puck Nielsen tells us that it isn’t in the Russian news anymore, so presumably it wasn’t to justify a second mobilisation.Possibly Russia didn’t realise that Zelenskyy would be in Finland.

@chowderman I would follow @anderspuck arguments here. It wasn't a "real" false flag. At least not in the sense that it was Kremlin approved.I suspect that it was some rogue element. Either russian pro-victory Z-ultras (they want to an escalation by the Kremlin) or some partisan/pro-ukraine group that is not in direct control of Kyiv (I believe that Kyiv would have chosen a target that actually mattered, I might be wrong about this one though).IMO Z-ultras are most likely.

FWIW.. Russian false flag operations are typically embarrassing in both scope and execution, so I would definitely not put this past them. But if it not a false flag, it will not also have been a Ukr operation either, because drones of that size and speed will not have flown all that way. Could have been a local partisan op, not unlike the Belarusian A-50 drone thing at Machulishchy.@chowderman @t_mkdf @anderspuck

@anderspuck That is true, however that objective could have been achieved by targetting purely military targets in the same area, which would fit better with the typical strategy we have seen from Ukraine: There is always a miitary purpose for their attacks on Russian territory. There is only 1 person that positively could benefit from the attack, and that is Prigozhin. He is putting his anti-Kremlin rhetoric into action, and has the means, motive, methods and opportunity to carry out the attack

@AndersGottliebThat's completely understandable. I'd need a great deal of vodka myself if I had to do russian government press releases. @chowderman @osma @t_mkdf

@notsoloud @chowderman @osma @t_mkdf I guess most people need that, but it would be better to drink it after you finish writing. ;-)

@notsoloud @chowderman @osma @t_mkdf "The drones that attacked the Kremlin were noticed long before they approached Moscow. But officials did not react, Baza claims."https://t.me/RussiaTomorrow1/6361"Washington is behind Kyiv’s attack on the Kremlin, US attempts to disown the drone attack on the Kremlin are ridiculous - PeskovCan Peskov ever stop being Peskov?"https://t.me/RussiaTomorrow1/6362So now it is solved. As usual it is US who are the bad guys. 😉

@chowdermanThe flame we saw did look more like a deflagration of the remaining fuel than a detonation of an explosive warhead. Or, it was a home-grown firebomb in the style of Molotov cocktails.@anderspuck @t_mkdf

@anderspuck 1) Drones flying like 25 km/h2) Camera man ready to capture the perfect shot3) Drones without explosives 4) Drones attacking a flag5) Servicemen climbing the roof to be ready for the cleanup at 3am6) Drones able to fly through a very highly populated city without anyone noticing7) Anti-drone system only works just above the rooftop (where it would anyway be useless)What a joke! 😆😁🤪
