It’s just extremely funny, worst day for r*ssian strategic aviation ever. Achieved by: short range fpv drones and trucks

    Drinks are free for these guys. This an amazing operation and is about to cripple all Russian trucking for a bit, as the entire country is searched.

        That was the best part. The trucks were driven by Russians themselves. They built small sheds in Kazakhstan with automated opening roofs, then loaded in the smuggled drones. They loaded them all up into a rigged container. Then they moved them across an easier to cross border into Russia, with a set up fake company. Last thing was to hire local Russian truck drivers and deliver them to pre set spots by the air bases. All SBU guys get out of Russia, with unwitting truck drivers delivering the doom to the air force.

        Ukraine said that all personnel was extracted before they flicked the switch. Dunno how or if it is even true. But they did show so much video and gave so many details that it sounds true?

    I must apologize to Dahir Insaat for ever mocking their 18 wheeler drone airbase attack video

    I pray Ukraine does not make me apologize for mocking the video where a drone loads and anti tank shell into a vice grip and hits the primer with a hammer

        Which is actually hilarious because in what world is attacking military targets that are used for military operations against Ukraine stationed on a military site “terrorism”

        The mental gymnastics performed for this are actually quite impressive

        At worst they lost close to 30% of their strategic fleet, crippling blow (they can’t manufacture new ones) but not fatal.

          Didn’t bother to look up the numbers just for a joke, but apparently the planes hit were the ones prepared for take-off, so it might actually still be close if enough of the remaining planes weren’t airworthy
