Blow up the whole freaking Kremlin. If that despot is going to keep targeting civilians in Kyiv then get all of your active folks in the field to light that place up like the 4th of July. Nothing and no one in that country should feel safe.

You wonder how good the Kremlin’s air defenses REALLY are…

Considering how Ukraine is getting drones in pretty easily... I'm guessing not great. 

Hell, there's a legendary Cold War story of a West German student that flew his single engine plane straight into the Kremlin and landed on Red Square. Their organizational efficiency is so dog shit they're a nationalized swiss cheese failure model

Russia has a huge supply of manpower to force to the front.  

I wouldn’t count on Putin running out of gas he will continue to throw everything they have at it and their economy isn’t as close to collapsing as we would all like it to be. 

Counterpoint: Russia is out of armor, their logistics are as bad as ever, the men they push to the front are still untrained and moving from tree line to tree line on scooters, and they still can’t conduct night operations. F16s are now being used offensively near the front, Russia just lost a 264,000 ton ammunition depot near Moscow, Ukraine has started using a longer range USV with torpedoes and SAMs increasing their dominance of the Black Sea, Saudi is about to produce more oil further driving down prices. If we’d just sell Ukraine the patriot batteries they want to buy, Russia would have basically no success to point to.

You certainly have a type.

The Kremlin's air defenses are probably really good at this piont....at the expense of the rest of Russia, which is why Ukraine is lighting up plenty of places deep into Russia.

It's when they get the drone thing down in regard to flying under the radar (literally), or when they can overwhelm the air defenses, that it gets interesting.

I watched a recent bit of journalism from one of the drone shops in Lviv that's churning out thousands of kamikaze FPV drones every month - they've got new tech running on the drones that allows a pilot to "mark" a target or the thing they're trying to hit so the drone will keep tracking even if EW severs the link to the pilot.

 

Along those lines it doesn't seem like a stretch to program some visual/intertial guidance for a swarm of drones to fly in at 100 AGL. Lord knows the topography data is available and definitely fits onto an SD card
