Four people lost their lives and four wounded as a result of a morning arrivals by AFU in the center of Donetsk. Residential buildings, parking lots, a cafe and a shopping center were also damaged.
They are most likely gps guided and the fuel storage is a fixed and known target. Still a missed occasion because a fragmentation payload in the middle of airplanes would be quite effective... even doing it blind, a 200ft far hit could disable an aircraft.
I don’t know why they keep targeting the fuel storages. Wouldn’t it be better to just ram the drone into one of the planes on the tarmac.

Don't know how many left and how many landed on targets. If they shot only one or two and hit something of value, they have pretty good INS navigation or are quite lucky ! Quite a number of these was made but I don't know how many was left in Ukraine.I think Strizh's are INS guided and since they are a recon drone, they don't have a HE frag warhead besides whatever the Ukranians might have slung in it, most likely a dumb bomb like the one that crashed in Croatia.
Sure that these attacks are for PR but if they can repeat the process and hit targets of value, Russia will need to look at asset for blocking them.Again, missing the point that these attacks are being done for internet clout and media points to help feed the propaganda war and have limited to no actual battlefield utility. It’s not like the Russians are even using Tu22s in Ukraine to start with.
A big fuel depot fire looks much better on TV than bombers with some holes in them.
They can certainly make it but various entrenched interests prevent it. it same lack of drones in Europe that East Europeans have to buy TB2.
Russia is placing newly built equipment in Ukraine.Yesterday another T-90M was captured.
