In a bizarre repeat of previous denials, the Russian Ministry of Defense again claimed that no direct hits occurred, attributing all damage to fallen Ukrainian drone debris.

All the other issues here aside, I think that you guys are long overdue to find a fresh cover-up strategy. I mean, the "our soldiers were smoking and it exploded" thing was better than this. At least with smoking, there's the potential to stop the problem in the future, but if air defenses are having the "debris" destroy the targets that they're aiming at, then the air defenses intrinsically can't be very effective even when they work.
