Russia claims 158 drones downed in mass attack targeting refinery, power plants in Moscow, other regions

Dozens of drones reportedly targeted several Russian regions overnight on Sept. 1, including Moscow, Tver, Voronezh, Tula, Kaluga, Bryansk, Belgorod, Lipetsk, and Kursk, according to local officials.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that 158 drones were downed overnight.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that at least nine drones were downed in Russia's capital region. One of the drones was reportedly destroyed near the Moscow Oil Refinery, according to Sobyanin. One of the refinery's buildings was damaged and a fire was reported following the attack, Russia's state-owned Ria Novosti outlet reported.
They're seriously trying to claim that none of the drones actually hit anything and all of the damage we're seeing (the rather extensive damage) is all just "debris" from them downing the drones.
Sure, Jan, sure.
26Russia’s got a LOT more land and facilities to cover and defend. I hope Ukraine can continue stepping up covert infrastructure attacks, because it’ll spread the already overstressed Russian air defenses even further.
24AFAIK there’s a ton of their best anti air stuff parked around Moscow just because of this, they can’t risk the hits they’d take if they move it to the front lines
