This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia's nationalists are fuming over a slew of attacks on Russian territory which exposed gaps in its defenses and put it on the back foot in its invasion of Ukraine.
The blowback was picked up by the respected Institute for the Study of War think tank, which described it in an update on Wednesday.
It criticized authorities for not protecting the valuable aircraft there with hangars, and compared their defenses unfavorably to those in Russian-occupied Crimea, closer to the fighter.
They typically agree with the aims of the war, but voice frustration at Russia's inability to defeat Ukraine more quickly.
Their anger was prompted by an increasing number of drone attacks, likely organized by Ukraine or Ukraine-affiliated groups.
And some of these strikes have destroyed and damaged Russian military aircraft sitting on home soil.
