"This Is A Failure Of Belarusian Air Defense."

The story of the drone that flew into a Minsk house was a telling one.
Natalia Radina was a guest on the YouTube channel of well-known journalist Evgeny Kiselyov.
One of the main topics of conversation was a drone that flew into a Minsk house on the night of July 29.
Natalya Radina expressed the opinion that the incident with the drone is a natural consequence of Russia's use of Belarusian airspace for shelling Ukraine:
- This is a failure of Belarusian air defense. If you look at the statistics, there was a record in July: about 59 incidents with Russian drones flying to Ukraine that were recorded in Belarus. These drones have already fallen in Gomel, in Kostyukovichi, in Khoiniki, but now a drone fell not in Gomel region, but directly in Minsk. Moreover, it crashed into a residential building almost in the center of the capital - in Frunzenski district on Matusevicha Street. Miraculously, there were no casualties, because the drone really carried a military charge and was filled with TNT. It fell on the parking lot, and cars were damaged. If the drone had exploded directly hitting the building, there would have been casualties. In this courtyard, by the way, there is a kindergarten.
We see the consequences of the fact that Belarus under the rule of dictator Lukashenko, unfortunately, is a direct participant in Russia's war against Ukraine. But these are the inevitable consequences of this participation.
For fans of conspiracy theories I can say that yesterday I paid attention to the information that a factory for the production of drones is being secretly built in Minsk. If you remember, during a meeting in the spring, Putin and Lukashenko agreed to build a drone factory in Belarus.
According to new information, this enterprise is being built in Minsk, in the same Funza district, where the drone fell. It's on Yanka Mavra Street, not far from Matusevicha Street. How can you build a military drone factory right in the center of the capital - I can't understand it, because it's a direct threat to the residents of Minsk. After all, such facilities are a legitimate target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
But I will not claim that this is a Ukrainian drone, because there have been no statements from the Ukrainian side. It is quite likely that it is still a Russian Shahed, but the authorities tried to blame Ukraine for everything.
