The UFO sighting will be especially hard for Putin to cover up. :o
(it's the lid of an oil storage tank)
Sadly, most likely he will order retribution this time also, but since Russia is now importing gasoline to cover shortages, I hope that war will be over in a few months.

And I thought a turret popping was something special. That's amazing.

It's beautiful, in a way. Looks like a scene from a movie.

They should fund Ukrainian drones to strike Russia oil infrastructure

It would be far more useful than anything else they've done until now.

So far the only thing they did is probably pissing off normal people

Wars go both ways, it's ok with the normal people when it's NIMBY

thats why putin had trump hastily remove all the oil sanctions, knowing thier oil infastructure is likely getting to hit constantly, they want to head that off by selling it off as much as possible.

Since when do drones launch missiles ?

A drone is just a term for a remotely operated (usually flying) vehicle. They’ve rigged up drones to fire guns and drop grenades, so a missle isn’t far of a stretch.
The US has UAVs that can fire missles too. Specifically the MQ-1 (picture attached). Look what’s on the underside.
