    Why would anyone be willing to get themselves killed for that though is what baffles me. Like in their last moments on this earth, shells crashing around them, were these guys thinking “I gloriously died showing some issues with Russian border defence. I fulfilled my fate”? It’s such a nonsensical way to throw away your life. At least go die defending some trench or assaulting a village or whatever, even if it turns out to be a suicide mission too. There’s some heroism and purpose in that. This stunt was none of that. It’s just nothing but pointless and dumb.

      Good question. I don’t know. Either it was copious amounts of propaganda and outright lies, but even then I’m not sure what they expected to accomplish. Perhaps they thought they could attack and retreat back, kinda like the North Caucasus militants did back in the day.

      Or maybe it’s drugs. There’s been rumours regarding the boatmen who were attempting to attack Zaporozhye plant. Supposedly they were just firing in front of themselves, glass eyed
