Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday hailed the Security Service of Ukraine's operation, in which Ukrainian drones targeted over 40 Russian warplanes at several airbases in Russia, stressing that it achieved an "absolutely brilliant result."

"One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution," Zelensky said in a post on X, emphasizing that it was Kiev's longest-range operation. He went on to say that such Ukrainian actions "will undoubtedly be in history books."

"We are doing everything to make Russia feel the need to end this war. Russia started this war, Russia must end it," the Ukrainian leader concluded.

The brilliant result would be Russia responding by destroying Ukraine's electric grid. As would dropping a bomb on Zelensky.

And, now, virtually anything Russia does is justified.

Any Navy ship, top water or below, and anything that flies, become easy and accessible targets to be destroyed or severely damaged from a distance and at a low cost!

Naval ships? Not really - it takes a good bit to punch a hole in them that's actually serious. Not to mention finding them and having drones with sufficient range. Those will need to be pretty big. Aircraft though, yup they're very thin-skinned and easy to take out of service.

I wonder what the DIA contingency plan is for a high yield 10 megaton burst 200 miles over Kiev, right in the middle of peace negotiations tomorrow.
Nobody is killed outright but everyone is sitting in the dark because of EMP, no command & control. How gnarly would that get?

[NorseViking]

Just like the US.

Yeah sure right

Are you that dumb?

“Don't whine like a little girl when Russia hits Ukraine back harder”

Will they need more Iranian drones, North Korean artillery and troops first?

Fire the idiot that put them within range of the Ukes

“Putin cannot control his borders nor can he protect his airfields.”

Neither can we or anyone else.

All the Zee propagandists on one thread?

You must be so excited to think you’re pulling the US and the world into WWIII!

Bumping your reality post!

Thanks for posting this memory!:

Thought. Remember the constant observation of drones near our military bases? Perhaps this was testing both our ability to launch a secret attack and our ability to defend.

Based on the description of a George Noory interview with a “military expert”, who discussed the decreasing role of manned aircraft due to the rise of drones, this aligns with a topic frequently discussed in the context of modern military technology and strategy.

The increasing importance of unmanned aircraft (drones) in warfare is a widely recognized trend. The advantages of drones include:

Lower Cost: Drones are generally less expensive to manufacture and operate than traditional aircraft.

Reduced Risk: Unmanned systems remove pilots from combat zone risks.Increased Capability:

Drones can perform surveillance, reconnaissance, and attack missions.This shift towards unmanned systems has led to discussions about the future of manned aircraft and the role of pilots in military operations.

While manned aircraft likely won’t disappear entirely, their numbers and roles may evolve as drone technology advances.
