would they turn Moscow into a devastated ruin?

Remember the allies in WW2 started unrestricted bombing of Germany AFTER the London blitz by Germany. Dresden comes to mind.

At least there is one target on the Black Sea they should consider...

And ELINT News is a one-man operation based in the UK.

And Russians use Mi-24s too. Heck, they are the ones who build (and sell) them.

I don't see much reason to believe any of this, as presented, until corroborated by more reliable sources. It could be completely true, it could be partially true, or it could also be utter bullshit.

I'm not saying it makes logical sense, but neither do the Trumpers and they still manage to get quite a bit of mileage.

Im not sure but if someone flips a raisin into a G20 member's corn flakes at the breakfast table utter chaos will result, with massive milk smacking.

The Ukrainians taking it to the Russians can help make the people realize the cost of the war. On the other hand, this could escalate the war, giving the Russians an excuse to attack NATO.

It's not really rational, but neither was attacking Ukraine.

to Russia is not a new or unusual thing in a war.

When one country attacks another, the attacked country fights back. Fighting back also means taking the war back into the attacking nation.

UK bombings of Berlin after Nazi Germany bombed London. US bombing of Japan after Japan bombed US territory in the Pacific. It is the norm for war.

Do that. Maybe they can get some drones over the locations lobbing missiles. A few exploding drones could take out a bunch of ships that are firing from the Black sea too.
