    Letting Russia’s spy drones so far inland to spot such a high value target, giving Russia so much time to actually launch something at the discovered position without moving, AND failing to intercept said something? Yes, that’s sloppy when you have such a mobile system with so much various high quality anti-air systems that could protect it from both the spy drone AND the (presumably) missiles they launched at it.

      We just don’t know…

      Keep in mind, Specialised spy drones are hard to intercept. And comparing the normal potato quality footage to this footage, it’s probably not just another drone.

      The fact they used an Iskander, combined with the drone, this was most likely a dedicated kill team. The launchers could have been spotted by infiltrators, traitors… dumb luck does seem unlikely due to the rapid response.
