61·4 days agoThere were no reports of drones or missiles. That leaves sabotage, incompetence, or sabotage disguised as incompetence. The AFU usually takes credit the same day for sabotage and Russia blames it on “safety violations”.

Not a dumb question at all. When AA guns miss, the bullets eventually fall back down, often tumbling, which slows them down but doesn’t make them harmless. Even tumbling rounds can injure or kill. Collateral damage does happen but often goes unreported due to censorship or lack of clear attribution.
They also made a video:
It was just as visible in Ukraine.

The video shows the jet on fire after it was hit.

It gets quite a jolt in the video, so maybe it’s just the gyros and weight of the drone. These “Queens” are larger than normal FPV drones.
They haven’t shared any photos of the drone in this configuration yet. I assume it carries a DIY directional fragmentary warhead underneath.
It’s a good thing too, since it minimizes harm if they are shot down or suppressed by EW, which I assume was the case here.
We, soldiers of the Russian army, came to Ukrainian soil with weapons in hand.
But the 4th Battalion of the Freedom Forces pressed us hard on the way. To stay alive, we surrendered.
I want to send my regards to the 4th Battalion and say thank you for letting us live.
I want to address Russian soldiers: Surrender at the first opportunity; there is no reason to die. They will treat you well here. Most importantly, you will keep your life.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
PTM-3 mines have a magnetic fuze and are used most often for remote mining by drones. They’ve also replaced a lot of the pressure fuzes on TM-62s with magnetic fuzes.
