What percentage of these attacks deep into Russia are being launched from Ukraine and what percentage are being launched from Russia? Of the latter (assuming non-zero), what percentage are being launched by Ukranian forces operating in Russia and what percentage are being launched by dissident Russians themselves?

Considering the first pictures of the plane burning were on Ukrainian social media, and "someone" put up a Ukrainian flag right outside the airport, I'm guessing these aren't being launched from Ukraine.

As the other poster said, this attack likely came from inside the house 😱

They've also developed and used long-range drones similar to what the terrorists in Tehran sold to the terrorists in the Kremlin. Basically flying mopeds of death.

Seems Ukraine is giving the Kremlin the wonderful opportunity to pull air defense resources back into Russia or face extremely expensive and embarrassing attacks.

These airfields have air defense systems already. They're just failing to destroy these drones, because the Ukrainian operatives launching them are smarter, and the Russian soldiers are lax.
