Perfectly logical and accurate editorial. Bravo.
People who seem to like Russia or Putin or something can’t seem to understand the damage he has done to his own country and people, which is massive.
My own opinion is he doesn’t care. His style of war has always been excessively destructive and at home he eliminates those who might offer him better advice.

Russia’s losses are estimated so far at $2.2 billion in aircraft they can no longer produce or replace.”

“In a spectacular military and propganda coup, Ukraine has carried out an audacious attack on Russia’s airforce, using drones to destroy as many as 40 warplanes at military bases across the country.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said 117 drones were used in the so-called “Spider’s Web” operation by the SBU security service. They were smuggled into Russia hidden in wooden mobile cabins, moved close to the airbases, then launched by remote control.

Ukraine’s Security Service has estimated the value of the Russian strategic aircraft hit during its 1 June special operation at US$7 billion.

SOURCE: Security Service of Ukraine (SSU)

QUOTE: “US$7 billion. That’s the estimated value of the strategic enemy aircraft assets hit today as part of the SSU’s special operation Pavutyna (Spiderweb).
We have struck 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at their main airbases.”

DETAILS: The SSU has promised to release more information about the operation “shortly”.

BACKGROUND:

• On the afternoon of 1 June, a series of strikes took place targeting Russia’s Aerospace Forces at no fewer than four airfields.

• Sources told Ukrainska Pravda that the operation, which was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), had hit around 40 aircraft, particularly strategic bombers.

• A source in the SSU told Ukrainska Pravda that the special operation, code-named Pavutyna (Spiderweb), had been in preparation for over 18 months. The plan involved smuggling first-person view drones into Russia, followed by mobile wooden crates in which the drones were concealed.

• Russia’s Defense Ministry has confirmed that military airfields in five regions were attacked by first-person view (FPV) drones. The ministry blamed the “Kyiv regime” for the strikes.

Idiotic article. Heavily biased. Ukraine just sealed their fate. There was a chance, now there isn’t. It’ll be a miracle if anything from Ukraine is left of that country. It’s sad. They could of had peace but instead dawdled around and kept pushing peace talks and now we know why. This is a huge escalation which won’t end well.
