Shrug. The Kremlin loudly arresting the Kinzhal developers for treason after the Kinzhals get shot down suggests a clear narrative to me about who is telling the truth.

The best case you can make for Russia is that the Kinzhal developers actually did commit treason but in a way that was unrelated to the Kinzhal missiles not being effective which is… laughable

Ukraine is also arresting people who film AA incidents, so who cares.

The governments of both countries are being "selective" about the truth and imposing censorship by force. Which makes sense at times of war!

Nobody here should take anything released by the involved parties (and their sponsors) as gospel. It's war. War is about deception.

The problem with filming AA deployments is not about hiding the efficacy of AA deployments. It’s about hiding their locations.

What is the purpose of arresting your missile scientists for treason? What’s your best case interpretation?
