[91567] Drone attacks on Moscow: City authorities prepare for prolonged escalation

Moscow under threat: Capital authorities issue emergency preparations

According to a report by the Telegram channel Реальна Війна | Україна | Новини, authorities in Moscow have ordered local authorities to prepare residential basements as long-term shelters, as part of preparations for what has been defined as "massive and ongoing attacks" by Ukraine. The channel, which is identified with a clear pro-Ukrainian stance, reports that in addition to the protection guidelines, manuals were distributed to residents on how to act when identifying unmanned aerial vehicles.

At the same time, similar reports have arrived from other Ukrainian channels such as Реальна Війна 18+ | Новини з фронту and Андрющенко Time, which claim that the level of "trust" in Putin among Moscow residents is being tested under the noise of drone engines. These sources emphasized that the activity of the Russian air defense systems themselves poses a risk to the civilian population due to interceptions carried out directly over residential areas.

Mocking videos were distributed online and gained wide circulation on channels such as БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС and Тарас Григорович повідомляє, showing Russian air defense soldiers firing at drones. In the videos, shouts with a Caucasian accent can be heard, which became a focus of mockery among Ukrainian bloggers. ЗСУ ДВІЖ △💪🇺🇦 ironically noted that the crews, sometimes cynically referred to as "air defense tigers," do not look like local residents of Moscow, and questioned the lack of professionalism they demonstrated during the attack.

In other sectors, these channels reported pinpoint successes by Ukrainian artillery units, including the use of RAK-SA-12 systems, and damage to various Russian missile systems. All reports are characterized by a combative and critical tone toward the Kremlin leadership and the Russian military, while highlighting the gap between the official narrative in Moscow and the reality on the ground.
