And to attack the Russian capital, drones are flying along rather interesting routes, bypassing enemy air defense zones
Today, August 23, at night, kamikaze drones attacked Moscow again, one of which successfully hit a building in the “business center” of the Russian capital, Moscow City. And because of the systematic nature of such strikes, which are no longer surprising, it seems that we are talking about such methodical strikes as were once inflicted on enemy positions in Chornobaivka during the liberation of Kherson.
The video of this episode is already online. However, it should be noted that the drone crashed into the unfinished Moscow Towers skyscraper (some sources incorrectly indicate One Tower, which is still under construction).

Officially, the Russian authorities confirmed the attack, noting that there were three drones in total, two of which were intercepted on their approach to Moscow in the Mozhaisky and Khimki districts. And the third, which hit the skyscraper, was “suppressed by electronic warfare,” which again confirms that this phrase is a manifestation of a “novoyaz” like “pop.”
But the information about the areas of “interception” of the other two drones is quite interesting because of their geography. While Mozhaisky district is located in the southwest of Moscow, Khimki district is in the northwest.
The drone’s crash there is confirmed by a video of its wreckage and reports from local residents that it fell not just in the Khimki area, but in the settlement itself, in the Starbeevo neighborhood. At the same time, the drone was traditionally “shot down” in such a way that it fell on an unnamed building.
And so it is possible that Ukrainian drones are making a rather complicated attack route in order to bypass enemy air defense positions and attack from different directions.
