I dont view Russia as a wholly unified bloc (indeed, for personal reasons it would be a sheer impossibility for me to do so), and I'm well aware of prigozhin's trolling. I would find it hard to take that man at his word if he declared that the sky was blue. I dont think that there is any evidence that either are relevant here though. >And what military tactic is there to send inaccurate drones and missiles in civilian areas in the first place ? To tie up and overwhelm their air defences so that they have to be spread more thinly and can't be concentrated at the front. I forget the exact numbers but the drones were something like $10k and ended up being shot down by $500k missiles. Indeed it was an economically efficient tactic if the goal is to degrade ukrainian AA.
