    This has to be the stupidest decision ever. Now those buildings are legitimate targets.

      Maybe that’s the goal. Freeze the front in Ukraine and turn global public opinion against them with video of Ukrainian drones striking Moscow high rise apartment buildings.

      That high rise looks to be very expensive. Odds are a few people that hang out there are associated with Russia’s invasion. This makes them a legitimate target already.

      Putting anti-air on it is stupid because it clearly confirms it as a legitimate target.

    Can buildings withstand the vibration and pushback of such weapons? And how do they stock them with ammunition? Is this shit sustainable in any way?

    I’d say: Don’t bomb those buildings - just let some drones cruise over them and let the AA do the destruction to the structure.
