Russia tried downplaying the destruction of one of its prized supersonic bombers.
Ukraine has launched two major kamikaze drone strikes that took out one of Putin's prized nuclear bombers in a spectacular fireball and caused significant damage to a train station used to supply Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
New footage of the strike on Soltsy airbase in the Novgorod region shows one of Russia's nuclear bombers being swallowed by an enormous fireball.
Smoke billowing from the fireball could be seen for miles around.

The attack on the prized bomber came a day before a major railway station was also attacked in a suspected Ukrainian kamikaze drone strike.
There was a fire and damage to the roof and facade of the Kursk train station on a line used to transport weapons, troops and ammunition to Vladimir Putin's illegal war against Ukraine.
Footage showed the moment of attack as drone attacks were also reported in Moscow and Rostov region.

more feel-good news this morning!
If Republicans like you hated Liberals as much as Russians, we’d have the Evil Empire in DC on the run.
NASA FIRMS fire map shows 7 big fires at the airbase yesterday. This bomber wasn’t the only one.
“Parked, fully fueled?” (Looks like maybe.)
If so, izzat smart in a forward area?
With all this daily massive destruction of RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSA and daily Ukraine triumphs there should be nothing left of RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA by now and Zelensky should be occupying Red Square.
Odd that it’s not happened, if you are telling the truth.
And the hits keep coming after the Luna 25 debacle. That was built with chips taken out of stolen Ukrainian washing machines.
maybe if Russia could just, somehow, stop attacking and invading its neighbors,
it wouldn’t be hated & distrusted so much?
maybe? LOL
Hurray send more money
The Biden crime family took more bribes from Russia and China than from Burisma. And Biden gave Putin the greenlight to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion” and your Putin and his crappy military screwed up the deal.
How long before the Putin Stooges learn who their new god is?
It wasn’t an invasion, Russia liberated ethnic Russians from The Zelenskies. You might want to try that with Your Trudeau, you foreign Bag.
Also Russia “Let's invade all our non-Nato neighbors”
More child-like wind. Hows about a linky?
Putin could have sent some buses to bring them home to Russia. It's not like they don't have any room for them.
They live there, but fighting for freedom seems like a foreign concept to Republicans.
You’re assuming he’s American and Republican.
Odd headline.
I see 1 airplane obliterated, not an entire airfield. Maye im just a stickler for details…
