My initial thought too. Not sure of the strategic value. But I wonder if it is part of a Mossad-style effort to hunt down enemies wherever they are. I guess the ops in the report would need just one or two blokes, a couple of commercially available drones, and a playstation controller.

Meanwhile, I'm sure everyone (or just me and Mutts) have noticed that it's been kicking off in Nagorno-Karabakh again, just what the world needed. It might have been a short spat actually, I note that some some sort of ceasefire agreement was reached this morning.

And Armenia has learned the value of having Russia guarantee your security and the peace.

I watched the news on the three main Russian TV channels this evening. Not a mention!

I'd modify that to "been given some decent kit and have folk trained on how to use it".

Mind, their own kit is pretty good. Ukraine has a long pedigree in rocket and missile technology. Seems the Storm Shadow or Scalp was used here but the homegrown Neptune has scored some hits as well.
