Which means they are capable of carrying explosives and that couldn’t have been known if they were or weren’t before being shot down. It’s possible I don’t know the technical definition of “decoy” but that sure doesn’t fit the description to me from a layman’s understanding.
Decoy means they are designed to waste Ukrainian anti air rockets and munitions by having them believe they are explosive drones. It’s literally what a decoy drone is. That is why they are shaped similar to the Shahed so people cannot tell the difference from afar.
Even Belarus has claimed that these drones were bound for Ukraine, but apparently had their radar navigation jammed.
Look around you, just between Russian and Israeli actions alone, we are quickly descending into a global conflict already.
My entire conspiracy theory is that Charlie Kirk was shot in order to focus US attention fixed on internal issues, in order for their global soft power to continue to crumble while the rest of the world descends into madness.
It’s in the same vein as the DNC emails leaking straight after Trump’s “Grab them by the pussy” tape was released, completely taking over the news cycle.
If I had a nickel every time something politically expedient happened to derail the press, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t much, but it’s strange that it’s happened twice to the same guy.
FYI apparently that damage was actually caused by an air-to-air missile (which a safety device fortunately prevented from detonating) fired by a Polish F-16.
The Russian drones were cardboard decoy drones. The propaganda must go real hard if you think that’s starting ww3.
I haven’t seen the news reporting that. Is that reporting in another language or something?

So, not cardboard and not “decoys”. Just cheap stuff because RU is broke.
No literal cardboard and foam.
I should have been more clear that I object to these being called “decoys” because they are clearly functioning drones, just made out of junk.
All except possibly one of them had no explosives on board.

Cardboard managed to do this to a house, huh?
