Mr. Z may well have lost Odessa in this stunt. Goal, force Russia to Nuke Kiev and start WW III, America (world police) will march in and save Mr. Z’s job. A bold move but, one that may well fail in the end. We shall see in 48 hours how Russia will re-act. My bet, it will not be pretty.
Putin shouldn’t start wars...
You might add Iran and China to your picture album.
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.
May be that is the best option Russia has. To destroy kyiv when Zelvis is in town.
The runt Zelensky gloats over his drone attack, but he will lose the war.
He will be the first to flee when Russia takes over.
Neither side appears interested in negotiating an end to this insanity.
Very few American taxpayers who’ve had their money thrown into this war toilet give a sh#t who wins. Just get it over with, and without US taxpayers footing the bill for ANY more of it.
Neither can United States! 13 million illegals easily crossed our borders during Biden-46.
Putin will become the worlds pariah, if he uses nukes.
This is a great time for scumbag Putin to seize up, keel over from a heart attack. 24 hours after this, peace will come to Ukraine.
He already is. He has cancer and dying soon. I don’t think he would be worried about pariah status. You can’t think logically with a dying man.
So much for peace.
[Putin cannot control his borders nor can he protect his airfields.]
Wait until the peace conference tomorrow when Ukraine tells Putin “Sunday we used 5 drone trucks; there are 20 more positioned somewhere in Russia.”
Archer aviation. Andril. We have and are developing many many sources for drones.
The head of the Russian delegation Medinsky looked shell shocked when he arrived in Istanbul a few hours ago.
We won’t know the result for a few days.
You do know that a despot like Putin will just be enraged and will dig in more now. There is no path to peace now, except regime change in Ukraine or Russia. Should have waited until after the peace talks (if they didn’t work out) to launch this.
The satellite imaging companies are going to make a mint selling the “before and after” images tomorrow.
The full result should include Russian retaliation, if any.
Between the passenger rail strikes and these drone strikes I suspect Russia intends to do great harm.
I’m curious to see if the ultimate result will be similar to the “brilliant” Kursk incision.
You know that Amazon guy in the commercial, glasses, shirt sleeves rolled showing female forearms, speaking in a monotone ... he could bore the tits off the Venus de Milo.
