Ukraine ‘strikes Russian airfields destroying nuke bombers’ in huge drone blitz as footage shows aircraft up in flames

TWO Russian airfields housing Putin's nuke bombers have reportedly been blitzed in an extraordinary drone strike - wiping out at least 40 aircraft.

A Ukrainian security official told Reuters that the SBU conducted a large drone attack on Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers - which Russia uses to fire long-range missiles at Ukraine.

The source did not specify where the drone attack took place, but Ukrainian media said that Olenya airbase - home to Russia’s Tu-95 strategic bombers - had been targeted.

The second base under fire is understood to be the Belaya nuclear airbase in eastern Siberia’s Irkutsk region - some 2,900 miles from Ukraine.

Russia's governor of the Murmansk region confirmed that the drone strike had taken place.

Unverified footage showed smoked billowing from mad Vlad's bases as Russian troops and civilians watched on in horror.

Ukraine’s Pravda Gerashchenko Telegram channel said: “A special operation 'Web' is being conducted to demilitarise Russia.

“The [SBU] report the destruction of Russian bomber aircraft behind enemy lines."

They added: “In particular, the destruction of more than 40 aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3.”

Local residents reported hearing explosions as swathes of Ukrainian UAVs struck Putin's bases.

Ponder this for a minute. Zelensky jet sets all over the world with tin cup in hand looking for “donations.”

One would think at least once in the last three years, Putin would have ordered a hit on the little green faggot.

What is Russia’s advantage in letting Zelinsky live??? Something is odd.

This WAS the Ukrainian retaliation. Get it?

I love the people who go on and on, for 4 years now, about how brilliant Putin is and achieving everything he wants.

They even said it was the Russian way of fighting for years and years, and we just don’t understand it.

Putin is a psychopath and is hollowing Russia out on many levels because he doesn’t care how many Russians he kills, how much stuff he destroys, the losses are meaningless to him personally.

That’s why he hollowed out any possible opposition, so there are no voices of reason to stop him.

And even if he captures Ukraine, is that going to achieve piece and security from NATO? Just the opposite. Again, he doesn’t care.

I thought you said Ukraine was serious about working towards peace? They have a funny way of going about that in my opinion. Next Russia will strike back, and you will complain that they did so.

Yeah something is “odd” it’s called Putin.

But even Putin has been told that if he attacks in Europe Russia and Putin are finished.

He can’t even capture Ukraine, NATO would obliterate his armed forces.

I’m generally glad Ukraine can deliver some punishment to Russia. Especially because Russia has been going on the offensive rather than accepting a ceasefire.

But this is why the war, as Trump says, is inherently dangerous.

You have been cheering for WWIII for three years. Well, here you go and you’ll never have to go to war yourself. Save that for other dopes. And never forget, Putin is far more dangerous to Americans than elected Democrats!

Putin had assassination teams hunting the Ukraine president in the early days but that probably got harder to do as the war progressed, assassination would still be on the table but hard to pull off.

In wartime, leaders are hard to get to.

Just nuke the Ukes from outer space. It’s the only way to be sure.
