@ezekielbrockmann114 Not likely - IF anyone should be behind it that isn't opposing Russia, it would more likely be someone who wanted to provoke a harsher reaction from Russia towards Ukraine!

@ezekielbrockmann114 Nah, I highly doubt Prigozhin would do this! Prigozhin isn't against the army, he's against the leadership of the army, (and being someone who's been connected to GRU for a very long time by now, he's definitely not happy about FSB either - Girkin on the other hand has very close ties to the FSB - and him and Prigozhin aren't particularly fond of eachother... While everything points to someone opposing RUSSIA, not just opposing some of the top dogs in the Kremlin, being behind this, the only other rational explanation could be a hardliner who SERIOUSLY wants to ramp up the war and try to force Putin to go all in - but I highly doubt that! Prigozhin might be ambitious, but he also knows that going after Putin is still suicide - and he has known Putin for far longer than most of the "Kremlin Oligarch Bratva"... Very early on it was Prigozhin who funded Putin's political career in return for favors for his businesses...

@JABN97 Nope, I’m pretty sure! While it’s many years ago by now, I used to teach rules of wars when I was in the army! The target is a military target! As long as it goes as planned, it doesn’t hit any civilians! The only reason it didn’t hit its target was that Russia used technological defence to turn them away from the intended target! Thereby causing collateral damage! Had it hit the civilian areas due to mistakes by the Ukrainians it would have been collateral damage due to their actions! Had they hit civilian targets on purpose, it would have been a violation of rules of warM Of course we can debate who’s causing the collateral damage, but as it’s due to actions from the Russians where instead of shooting them down, they turn them around into the direction of civilian areas, then I find it hard to say it wasn’t caused by the Russians themselves, but I’m absolutely willing to hear your argument for why it should be seen as collateral damage caused by the Ukrainians……

@noahway13 Exactly, he would end his days in some remote town in Africa, dying from a very sudden case of "food poisoning", or by "suicide after having murdered his entire family"...

It wasn’t intended to hit civilian targets, (that would also be a violation of the rules of war): but it was intended to hit an airstrip and some military buildings close by! The fact that the Russians tried to jam them to deflect them, made them hit civilian areas! From Ukraines perspective it’s basically like this; if they hit their intended target it’s excellent, and the Russians making them go 180° and hit civilian targets in a very affluent neighborhood is collateral damage caused by the Russians themselves - and this is absolutely acceptable as well!

@JABN97 The reason the incident you mention can be considered problematic is that the collateral damage it caused was due to the mission being successful. Of course, if it's a valid military target, it's always about countering the risk of collateral damage towards how critical it is to take out the target - and figure out how to terminate it while trying your best to avoid collateral damage! Now I'm not familiar with the case in question, but I sometimes have to question some of the decisions made by Dutch courts on military issues. Now as I said, I'm not familiar with this exact case - and there might have been very valid reasons for the court to rule as they did - BUT, I also remember that a Dutch court ruled against UNPROFOR DUTCHBAT for their role at Srebrenica in 1995! FFS, it wasn't DUTCHBAT who failed at Srebrenica, it was UNPROFOR leadership! Just like NORDBAT2 in Tuzla in 1994, DUTCHBAT was denied CAS, (or any other forms of support), against the Serbs, however, the Danes in NORDBAT2 had something DUTCHBAT didn't have, 10 big beautiful cats, (aka Leopard Tanks), so when the Serbs started carpet-bombing the Danish and the Swedish soldiers they were at least able to fight back - DUTCHBAT had nothing! And yet a Dutch court blamed them for not stopping the Serbs! That was disgraceful behavior by the court IMHO! But my small rant aside, and sorry about that, I just had to get it off my chest... So, in this case, it was basically an "unsuccessful" attack - not because the Russians shot them down, BUT because the Russians "took control" over the drones, (jammed them and forced them to change direction 180⁰). I'm trying to come up with an easily explained scenario - and I think it's best described this way. If I'm driving my car with explosives towards my target, let's say it's your local Ginger Bread bakery, (although I would never bomb such a wonderful place), - and you somehow get into the car and put a gun to my head and tell me to instead go to your in-laws house a couple of blocks away! Yes, it's true that I'm responsible for driving the vehicle with explosives, but if it hadn't been for your intervention, you would have to attend Sunday dinner at your in-laws but without ginger bread for tea/coffee later... I'm sure I've stopped making sense a couple of sentences ago - probably shouldn't have taken two double G&T... Sorry bout your in-laws and the Gingerbread Bakery!!!

OR, a political faction that hopes it can provoke a strong reaction from Kremlin - but I’m pretty sure Ukraine is behind this one! They were targeting an airstrip and some military buildings, and the Russians made the drones go 180°

@maurvir3197 Exactly, if the drones hit its intended target - FANTASTIC! If the Russians jam them and they instead hit an area where wealthy Russians live - then it’s not Ukraine targeting civilians, (which is a violation of the rules of war), but collateral damage caused by the Russians themselves!

If it was a False Flag, it would b blasted out on every Russian media - but somehow, it barely gets mentioned! So either Russia has suddenly turned incapable of orchestrating a False Flag operation, or someone else is behind!

Why?

Shitty vatnik "stand-up" comedy!

Very effective way to stop drones!

@Never-mind1960 It would make them heavier!
