All available air defenders are in Moscow, and St. Petersburg is sitting there begging to get leveled.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 39 points 12 hours ago

Nice psy-op. Now Putin will have to order everyone to be there, and they'll all be watching the skies instead of his dumb parade.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 42 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I hope they drone the shit out of the parade

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Rathet drone the Kreml

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 56 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

nah, drone more oil refineries while all the air defense is busy with the parade

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Drones filled with glitter. Pink glitter. Dump it all over the parades.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

hey let's not add more micro plastics to the environment please. Just use old fashioned munitions like a normal army.

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, I thought most glitter was glass, turns out its largely plastic/aluminum. TIL

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I can only imagine what a horror show it would be if glitter was tiny flakes of glass. Makes fiberglass pale in comparison.

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Sand is basically glitter, no? It is silica (glass), yet not sharp or irritative. In fact, there are pulverizing machines that turn glass bottles to sand that is nearly indistinguishable from beach sand. Just crush it a bit more? I donno. I'm not a glitteroligist

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Glitter is really thin though.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Blue and yellow glitter

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Is glitter a chemical weapon? πŸ€”

I certainly wouldn’t care to have glitter lung.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 hours ago

Is that what’s making the frogs gay?

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I hope they sabotage every single engine so that they break down in the middle of the parade.

Russia’s annual Victory Day parade will be held on 9 May without military hardware for the first time in almost two decades because of fears of a long-range attack by Ukrainian drones.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 hours ago

More like because they don't have anything working they can spare

Hahahahaha, thanks for that. I've missed it, it seems.

Maybe they could rent the hot dog mobile instead?

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 19 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Strategic ambiguity. Better keep all the AA near Moscow, Vladimir.

Oops. So mych critical oil infrastructure not in Moscow...!

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 hours ago

I heard Transnistria is really nice this time of year.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 10 points 11 hours ago

Lol he's trolling so hard

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Kyiv will for sure be present at the parade with drones, but i wouldn't be surprised if they sent chocolate and usb-sticks with information what is really happening at the front instead of explosives.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 hours ago

This would be the best approach. Just let thousands of USB sticks parachute down below into the hands of average Russians.

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

And russian mobile carriers reported possible outages on 5-9 of May in Moscow, probably to prevent drone operations. There is something in the cooking only intel agencies of these two countries know about. Either that, or a psyop to make people actually watch the parade four years into war.
