I’m confused. Surely Luna-25 is now on the surface of the moon, no? Sounds like a successful landing to me! I’m a bit sad, as I’m a fan of space exploration and would like to see all such efforts succeed. I have witnessed lot of Ukrainian schadenfreude on Twitter today, though, and I don’t begrudge them a bit of it. In news more relevant to the war, a rumoured Ukrainian drone attack yesterday on Soltsy airbase in the Novgorod region 650km inside Russia has been confirmed to have caused minor damage to a Tu-22 strategic bomber. This is one of the aircraft used to launch cruise missile strikes on Ukraine. > I’m not sure why Russians keep posting BDA reports for the benefit of Ukrainian intelligence, but it seems they quite reliably do. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russia-invades-ukraine-2022-02-24-part-2/973972)._
