Thank you.

#2  Either amateur Russian nationalists did this or Putin's FSB did. Hitting a flagpole is perfect for the false flag.

Soon my hope is Ukraine will burn the Kremlin to the ground though and it is going to happen. Ukraine is moving closer to Moscow and their technical means are expanding at the same time.

#3  Re watched this, everyone look closely, 2 guys are climbing the roof right as it comes over.

Russians are losing their talent at even false flag things. What a bunch of Fing losers.

#4 Definitely smells like a false flag.

#5 Don't poke the bear. Just don't.

#6 I dunno about the false flag thing.

The cost of entry is low and the necessary kit would fit in the trunk of a car, so this could be the work of anyone from local hooligans to nation state security services.

If I were me doing the false flag, I would have Putin on the grounds so as to add drama, not off elsewhere. Given that this is a big propaganda coup for the Ukrainians, that is where I would put my chip.

#7 Don't poke the bear. Just don't.

Odd that it targeted the rooftop flagpole and not a window or something (as stated in the video). Looked to be aimed to cause as little damage as possible.

Maybe they're poking themselves bad, in order to 'stimulate the masses'. In which case, your statement still rings true.

#8 Thing is, just the other week Ukraine was bragging up its efforts to do just such a thing, so:

#9 It’s a very small explosive going off several feet above the roof. This was never going to kill anyone.

#10 There is a $500K bounty for anyone who can land a drone on Red Square during May 9. Should be an interesting day.

Feb 2023: Drone attacks on Russia underline its vulnerability

#12 It’s a very small explosive going off several feet above the roof.

That UAV would have to remotely guided (i.e. local) or if GPS guided, the exact GPS coordinates and height of the dome would have to be known. Narrows the suspect list quite a bit.

BTW, original Russian news said 2-3 explosions were heard.
