Precision Ukrainian drone strikes on a crucial oil refinary plus other targets have certainly brought the reality of war to Muscovites. The Russian air defences seem to be lacking somewhat, and the damage to key infrastructure seems to be extensive.
This could be the precursor for a major escalation on both sides.
“Guess we fucked around and found out”, one Moscow resident commented in the video below.

Alter Schwede! Die 🇷🇺 Flugabwehr komplett hilflos und ballert einfach Pantasir Missles Kreuz & Quer in Moscow. Mich würde es nicht wundern, wenn die Hälfte der Treffer in der russischen Hauptstadt nicht auf das Konto von 🇺🇦 Strike Drohnen geht, sondern auf das dieser Vollidioten! pic.twitter.com/ibuUlrsJjr
