The explosions in Toropets, in the Tver region, were so intense that they were picked up by NASA satellites and earthquake monitors.
A Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian missile facility early Wednesday threw up towering fireballs visible from space and thundering detonations that triggered earthquake monitors.
Even by the standards of this incendiary conflict, video showing the blasts north of Moscow made for remarkable footage.
Officials on both sides said it was the result of a large Ukrainian drone attack on Toropets, a town in the Tver region around 230 miles from the Russian capital. Russian state media has previously reported that the military was building an arsenal for storing missiles and other explosives there.
Think they got the green light on long range missile use? Just saying, it’s a long way on and very effective strike…
I definitely don’t buy that it was plain old “drones”. An off-brand Cessna or something like that rigged with remote controls maybe? We’ve seen similar but I don’t know if those have the range or the wherewithal to traipse about in these skies.
it’s rumored to be their new drone “Palianytsia”
I miss one week of RFU updates and they invent a whole new class of cruise missile.
