Significant Drone Defense Operations Reported Near St. Petersburg
A recent post on the Fighterbomber Telegram channel, which has connections to the Russian Aerospace Forces, highlighted a troubling incident in the defense of St. Petersburg. The channel posted a stark black square early Wednesday, accompanied by a statement from channel owner Ilya Tumanov, expressing concerns over the cost of defending the city from Ukrainian drone incursions. Tumanov emphasized the severity of the situation, noting that the defense had come at a significant expense.
