Drone Strike on Moscow and Ukrainian Internal Unrest

If we consider the timing, could this be less about distracting the public and more about demonstrating that the operational chain of command remains intact despite the defense minister's removal? It might be a signal to internal dissenters that the military's offensive capabilities are not tied to a single official.
Where is the verification for the 400 count? We usually see a massive discrepancy between official claims and actual intercept data in these swarm attacks.
This feels like a repeat of the 2023 reshuffle, where a sudden personnel change was immediately followed by a high profile strike to settle the troops. The pattern suggests the administration uses external aggression to validate internal purging.
it is not a pattern, it is a desperate loop.
The volume of 400 drones indicates a significant scale up in domestic production capacity. This suggests that despite the political friction, the industrial base for asymmetrical warfare is becoming more resilient.
This is a textbook saturation attack designed to deplete the interceptor inventory of the S-400 systems. By forcing the expenditure of expensive missiles on cheap drones, they create windows of vulnerability for higher value targets.
