Ukraine attacks Russian air bases. One may assume global military(s) have taken notice.
Definitely a most serious blow against the madman, Putin.
BBC article HERE, which includes updates as needed. ADD: A MSNBC reporter added that the destroyed bombers were used to launch missiles towards Ukraine; and that these bombers no longer have a production ability and that Russia is/was doing what it could to keep these bombers operable with whatever parts, etc.
Ukraine scores big time. And they were smart enough not to tip off the Dump administration beforehand. Wonder what idiocies are being spouted on Lies Social.
To me, the most interesting aspect is that the Ukranians were able to drive a bunch of large trucks with drones inside pretty much all over Russia without detection. If you recall, when Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian mercenary leader of the Wagner Group, staged his short-lived mutiny/coup he and his small army got quite a way towards Moscow before anyone was really aware of what was happening.
Makes you wonder about Russian intelligence and security, no?
That is a significant setback for Russian air combat capability. Few of them are capable to carry nuclear warheads. They cannot be replaced readily due to the long lead time to build them.
