On the morning of March 2, a loud ** was heard on Piskarevsky Avenue in St. Petersburg. Russia reported that a drone landed between two apartments. The façade of the building, as well as the cars parked nearby, were severely damaged. Russia accuses Ukraine of attacking civilians.
According to the Ukrainian side, the target of the drone should be such a target as the Ruchi oil depot. It is 100% impossible for an apartment building to be a target for a drone, because from a military point of view, it has no value at all.
Ivan Stupak, an expert at the Institute for the Future of Ukraine, said on the Kyiv24 channel that "such'Falling'Most likely, it was due to the fact that the Russians used their electronic warfare systems, as a result of which the drones lost contact with the operators and crashed into these apartments.
"Blowing up the window of an apartment in St. Petersburg will not stop the Russian offensive in the Zaporozhye direction, in the Avdiivka direction," Stupak said. Only high-value-added military objectives, such as oil refineries, oil terminals, military and paramilitary installations, research and design institutions, etc., are worth attacking."
In response to the accusations of Russian netizens, Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of the defense committee of the Russian State Duma, admitted that the Russian Ministry of Defense could not fully protect St. Petersburg from drone attacks. But he assured that ** will strengthen the city's air defense.
