Another Russian airbase is reportedly hit by drones. Russia says one non-operational aircraft was hit. Too early for picture or video.

It's really pretty amazing how the tone has completely changed over the past 12-15 months.

Ukrainian drone dropped airbust munition on a Russian navy boat. Airbust munitions don't require a direct hit. The munition detonates and releases little metal fragmentation near the target. I expect to see more airbust munitions used around trenches.

Tens of thousands of "laughing" reactions appeared on Russian social-media posts about the memorial of a Ukrainian child who was killed in a Russian air strike over the weekend.

Six-year-old Sophia was among seven people killed and 144 injured in the strike on Chernihiv, northern Ukraine, per officials.

Russians learned it from Ukrainians.

Initially, they were aghast by Ukrainian reactions in the social media, all this gloating regarding the deaths in Donbass ( children including.)
Then they learned that Ukrainians loved to sell cakes decorated with "Donbass babies" that they were gleefully cutting into pieces, then they saw the hamburgers sold in Ukrainian grocery stores with the pictures of the family that was killed on Crimean bridge after Ukrainian attack.

It was ALL in social media, but Western propaganda will never tell you about it. It would only report to you when Russians finally "caught up" with Ukrainian trend.

But overall, as Zelensky's advisor A. Arestovich acknowledged lately - "It was our big mistake to dehumanize Russians, BIG mistake. I am not talking about their officials here, not about their state media, but from the point of view of your average mobilized soldier. Now they saw what they were up against, now they knew why they had to fight - we gave them great motivation and reason for revenge."

P.S. Russian "laughing" reaction came in case of Chernigov for a totally different reason I assume.

They laughed because they knew that this strike came about to target the military event - i.e. the meeting of the drone designers, all while Ukrainian propaganda is trying to turn it into event where Russians are targeting specifically civilians.

Threats, forecasts of how it's going to go...all kinds of stuff like that.

Like a football game where one team jumps out to a 21 point least but it's tied up going into halftime and the rowdy crowd isn't quite so fired up.
