No, no, russia counts buildings and infrastructure as air defense.

Russia soil is perfectly fine, the buildings shielded them from damage.

The only thing this achieves is making Ukraine seem even more dangerous than they already are lol

I get what they are doing by claiming to ve shooting down 1000 rockets and only one got through. But yeah, imagine living there thinking that that's what's going on. But kt's so much bs, might as well be a white house statement

The same way that they destroyed 3 million HIMARS launchers, 6 million tanks, and so forth.

Their military statistics are set up for exaggeration and inflated numbers to make themselves look good.

"In a successful defensive operation, several Ukrainian drones were destroyed by the heroic Moscow oil refinery."

... 15 bunkers and a dozen NATO generals.
Konashenkov (not sure about name, I haven't heard about him lately) isn't here but Konashenkov-style reports are still in produce.

I hope they're not lying! If Ukraine can uphold that level of construction, Russia won't be able to uphold that level of interception. Of course they are lying, but I don't think they realize that if they actually said the truth, that'd be much scarier.

Imagine shooting down a thousand drones and Moscow is still on fire. Common muscovite L

That oil refinery is on fire more frequently than not. Gotta be tough to work there, given how unsafe it must feel. How’re they maintaining a workforce in these conditions?

Show up for work and maybe die. Don't show up and almost certainly die under mysterious circumstances.

How many bullets have their soldiers stopped so far too?

deathbird@mander.xyz · 10 pts · 97d

Guess they missed a few.

I wonder if anyone there has figured out that inflating these numbers makes them look worse?

It is not an easy sell to your people that you are not losing a war where this long in the war where you are the aggressor Ukraine has so many munitions to spend. Like whats the upside of those numbers?

It doesn't say "over 1000 drones", it says "over 1,000 Ukrainian drones, missiles, and guided bombs".
