For the last 18 months or so, Ukraine has been planning yesterday's destruction of the strategic bombers. These are the planes that harass Alaska and make the US planes go up and drive them off. These are the planes that bomb Ukranian cities, hospitals, and schools. These are the planes that would be used to drop nuclear weapons. Remember when President Zelenskyy was in the oval office being berated by slime ball JD Vance for not wearing a suit and not thanking 47 enough? They were planning this then. The fact that 47 walked away from Ukraine removed the constraint that the US had final authority to approve or disapprove what Ukraine bombed. Today they bombed air fields and did not tell anyone in advance, including the White House.
This will
be in textbooks.
Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and mobile cabins (I think these were actually freight containers, nope - I was wrong, see photo below) into Russia.
The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later
mounted on trucks.
At the signal, the roofs opened remotely. Dozens of drones launched
directly from the trucks, striking strategic bomber aircraft.
And — Russia can’t produce these bombers anymore. The loss is massive.
Nothing like this has ever been done before. Maria Avdeeva
Ukrainian war journalist Yuri Butusov has summarized the details of the operation "Spiderweb" against Russian airbases:
- At the moment, according to our sources, the destruction of 41
aircrafts of strategic and military transport aviation of the Russian
Armed Forces at four bases has been recorded.
- Some of the drones attacked the target with auto-homing, the results
of their strikes will be determined using satellite images.
- A group of SBU agents transported 150 small attack drones and 300
ammunition to the territory of the Russian Federation. 116 drones took
to the air.
- The drones were controlled via Russian telecommunications networks,
using auto-homing.
- Drones attacked from a short distance during the day in the deep rear
of the enemy.
- The air bases were covered by significant air defense forces -
anti-aircraft missile systems, electronic warfare systems, regular
patrols with small arms. But the Russians expected night strikes by
heavy large strike drones, which are clearly visible in the air, and did
not expect an attack by small quadcopters during the day.
- The attack on the Tu-95 strategic missile carrier base at the Olenya
base was especially successful, the drones accurately hit the refueled
fuel tanks and a significant number of aircraft burned to the ground. An
operation of such a scale and with such a colossal economic and
military effect, at such a high technological level, has no analogues in
the world.
- SBU agents successfully returned to Ukraine. Ukraine did not suffer
any losses.
Consequences:
- Military equipment worth billions of dollars was destroyed
- Strategic aircrafts which Russia does not produce were destroyed.
- the enemy's strike capabilities are weakened, since these aircraft
were an important component of constant terrorist attacks on Ukrainian
cities.
- the enemy will have to spend a lot of money to strengthen the defense
of its bases and facilities.
Local Russian residents claim that a truck arrived in Olenegorsk, with the Russian driver running around in panic as FPV drones repeatedly launched from the trailer. According to them, traffic police have detained the driver, who reportedly said, "I was told to come here, someone would meet me." The drones continued to take off one after another. Noel Reports
47 stated that Ukraine must compensate Russia for the destroyed aircraft.
“They were just sitting there, not bothering anyone. If the Ukrainians
had shot them down during a combat mission, that would be a different
matter. But they were just sitting there. It’s like hitting someone
who’s already down,” said the President of the United States.
They look like little spiders.
How they arrived in pre-fab houses.
Slava Ukraini.
Slava Ukraini - Geroyam Slava!
ReplyDeleteThe strategic drone strikes were masterful and one factor in their success was not informing the U.S. in advance. Hegseth would have leaked it and Trump would have given Putin notice.
ReplyDeleteGood on Ukraine. Slave Ukraine!
ReplyDeleteTrump removed this country from any influence over Ukraine and so of course Trump is whining about how unfair the attack was on Russia. The planes weren't hurting anybody! So unfair!
ReplyDeleteBravo Ukraine!!! Slava Ukraini!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with Ukraine's attack, but I'm scared of what the consequences may be for Ukrainians.
ReplyDeleteIQ45 is an idiot, pure and simple. The Ukrainian people have suffered greatly and I am happy to know that these aircraft will not be used against them. Putin could care less about the Russian people, but this will be a huge blow to his ego.
ReplyDeleteI'm so Proud of Ukraine for pulling this off and showing that they do hold some 'Cards'. *Winks* Our Leadership has no real sway anymore, the World realizes we've elected a corrupt Moron in cognitive decline whose surrounded himself with Loyalist Nepo Hires.
