Three different videos, of three different targets, in three different parts of Russia, on the same day.

Love it.

And only non-civilian targets. Take notes, ruzzki assholes.

God, imagine if they caused a blackout in Moscow though. How embarrassing would that be?

The Moscow region is a net importer of electricity and both of those power plants are massive. However they also have a lot of power plants. After all the population of Moscow and Moscow Oblast combined is 21million.

Isn't a power plant a civilian target? It's certainly not a military target.

I meant that in the way of "people don't live there". ruzzki assholes targeting living blocks and schools and hospitals - that is really the worst.

It's dual-use infrastructure. It is used for both civilian and military purposes, so it's a valid target under international law.

Oh it actually is. In an actual war any part of the government or infrastructure that supports the military is fair game. So to use the US as an example, hitting the IRS building is probably not okay. But hitting the DFAS building, (they pay the troops), is a thing.
