Finally it's lights out for me... As indeed it was for security cameras at the Akron chemical plant in Russia a couple of hours ago. Watch for the flash in the top left, then it went offline. Good work drone kings, and good night everyone. Back in 5 hours😳🫣

Smolensk: 2/2 Video showing the orange glow in Dorogobuzka, amid claims the power plant has been hit.
