Pskov airbase got hit by Ukrainian kamikaze drones. It's located 650km away from Ukrainian border.

You are wrong about that. There are also footage showing Russian using SPAAGS against higher flying objects.
Edit: It has 20kg warhead (probably can use different ones) what is more than enough to take out soft targets like bombers and fighter jets, etc.

At least four IL-76's damaged according to Russians.
Crossing the entirety of Belarus, mate. The Baltics are right next to it by comparison, even Finland is closer so their involvement it is likelier.
Impressive. Target of oportunity in an unproctected rear area, massive PR stunt, little strategic value for Russia's war effort, though, par of the course for Ukraine lately given that even Storm Shadow launches have been reduced to a minimum.

I'd say the airport's firefighter are more efficient, as the fires have been put off
Looks like Russian media is outraged and are rightfully playing this up.
Looking at a map, Occam's razor says they came from Latvia/Estonia. Will be interesting to see the Russian response.
I wouldn't put it beyond Finland, either. It's just 300km away across the Gulf of Finland, less likely but still more realistic than trying to make people buy into the idea that this drone made it all the way across Belarus southern border unbothered.
