I mean if this is true I can't imagine the Russians would think this would be a very successful attempt. This would be hilarious as a movie plot. Polish grandpa is a Soviet sleeper agent being pulled out of his retirement home and having a fsb agent attempt to explain to him how to operate a drone.

I guess throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks works with assassinations as well?
