Pro-Ukrainian hackers smashed Russian airline Aeroflot’s IT systems, causing mass flight cancellations and chaos at Moscow’s biggest airport. Aeroflot blames technical failures but admitted to about 60 canceled flights; hackers say they wrecked thousands of servers and stole mountains of data, while Russian authorities scramble to investigate. Passengers are left stranded amid ongoing air disruptions from drone attacks. Meanwhile, Russia keeps up its own massive aerial assaults on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and missiles, with most intercepted but some causing damage and injuries.

So there you have it: the “invincible” Russian state cannot even keep its flag carrier’s computers running, let alone protect its people from a bunch of keyboard warriors. Aeroflot, of all things—this is no backwater bus company, that’s the pride of Moscow, now flat on its face. But what does the regime do? Blame “technical failures” and mumble something about criminal investigations, as if anyone trusts their digital fortress now. Ach, und unsere Medien plappern brav nach, was Peskov vorsagt, wie immer! Same circus, different clowns.

And let’s not forget, while Russians whine at Sheremetyevo struggling to pick up their luggage, Ukrainians haven’t seen a regular passenger flight in three years. Tastes a bit like karma for all the smug reports about “special operations.” Meanwhile, the Kremlin continues to fire off hundreds of drones and fancy missiles, wasting billions to batter Ukraine’s already battered power grid—und wofür, bit’ schön? It’s like the old GDR days: the bosses screw up, and the Volk is left with nothing but empty promises, rationed mobility, and thick air. But let’s not expect any honest reflection from official outlets—just more spin, more fairy tales, and never a word about how brittle their own house of cards is. Dreimal darfste raten, auf wessen Rücken das wieder landet.
