St. Petersburg is something like 800 miles from Kyiv. Either Ukraine infiltrated, carrying major explosives and delivery system, a very long way, or anti-Putin partisans got them some serious explosives and delivery capability.

I doubt there are many tourists in Odessa, so I'm guessing the Russians hoped some Ukrainian naval leaders were meeting there or a lot of military personnel were being housed there. Or maybe it was just an empty revenge-symbol.

Flashback to 2014

Ukraine's Yanukovych asked for troops, Russia tells UN

4 March 2014

Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych asked Russia to send troops across the border to protect civilians, Moscow's UN envoy has claimed.

Vitaly Churkin told a Security Council meeting Mr Yanukovych wrote to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday.

Thousands of Russian troops have been pouring into Ukraine's Crimea region.  .  .

.  .  .  The Kremlin has established de facto military control in Crimea. There are growing fears that it might try to seize more land in eastern Ukraine, where a number of people support closer ties with Moscow.

Ukrainian officials say reports suggest there is also a Russian military build-up near Ukraine's eastern border.  .  .

Yanukovych was Putin's stooge in Ukraine, just like Lukashenko in Belarus.  Putin's original plan in February 2022 was to either kill or topple Zelensky, and then drop Yanukovych back into power and turn Ukraine back into a client state.

Ukraine's former President Yanukovych ousted in 2014 is in Minsk, Kremlin wants to reinstall him in Kyiv

The ex-spokesman of TDF "Sarah" Ashton Cirillo got pranked by Vovan and Lexus and has revealed some interesting information. She said that foreign mercenaries adhere to far-right views and use drugs.   ...

Funny thing is that this confirms that the 2014 Revolution against Yanulovych because he was a Russian stooge was justified.

Russian air defences shoot down their own top fighter jet

From the article:

Quote
Russian air defences have shot down one of the country’s most advanced fighter jets in a friendly fire incident, according to reports.

The Russian Su-35 was downed over Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, on Thursday where Ukraine is mounting its counter-offensive.

A Russian Telegram channel with close links to the country’s air force appeared to confirm the incident on Friday when it paid tribute to the pilot, who did not survive.

Tokmak is very close to the area where the Ukrainians are trying to drive a wedge into the land connection between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula. The Su-35 being there and the S-300 battery being hyper-alert are very understandable. What I'm not understanding is the shoot-down. IFF technology dates to WW2 and has advanced astronomically since. Was the Su-35's IFF not functioning? Was the S-300 battery's IFF receiver not functioning? Have the Russians not updated their IFF coding since 1991, making their SAM systems unable to discern between Russian and Ukrainian planes? Did the S-300 battery crew ignore their system's IFF and shoot despite being informed that their target was Russian?

I suspect either of these two.  For the latter, it was likely an instance where some officer ordered the crew, and it was better for them to follow orders than to take a beating disobeying them,
