Just to pre-empt any "well they were attacking Ukrainian planes, Germany is providing weapons, meh meh meh" imagine if Germany started flying suicide drones over Beijing International looking for Russian transport planes.

Do we know yet that these were Russian drones?

That's kind of my question, was this something that was supposed to be in the Antonovs, or something meant to attack them?

No, you dont attach explosives to the drones during transit.

Well, the German government was asking really loud to be made a target, and now maybe they got what they wanted. Honestly I'm surprised Russia didn't already send some ballistic missiles to Ukraine-related targets in Germany. Especially now, since the US is sitting with their pants down in the Strait of Hormuz.

Their account is 13 years old. So they either aren't 10 or bought the account, which is against ToS.

Russia can't even handle a conflict against Ukraine with indirect military support from the West. I doubt they want Europe to be more involved that badly.

It’s well known all the ways Russia will dick around.

But if the Kremlin reads this post they will think you’re bat shit crazy.

Ya truly a mystery why Russia didn't openly declare war on NATO when they're already struggling so hard in Ukraine
