Vladimir Putin is set to dismiss his intelligence chiefs following a catastrophic security breach, which led to Ukraine taking out 41 aircraft worth £1.5billion across multiple airbases.
The Russian leader has been conspicuously absent from public view since Ukraine's successful strikes, with an insider revealing: "He will hit back at Ukraine, but also avenge his underlings who allowed this humiliation to happen."
The FSB security service, led by Putin's close ally Alexander Bortnikov, 73, faces particular scrutiny over the intelligence failure, which led to 117 first-person view kamikaze drones carrying out the daring attack.
Civilian lorries were able to carry the disguised weapons 2,500 miles from Ukraine to strike five separate airfields stretching from northern Russia to Siberia.

Of the dozens of aircraft destroyed/damaged by the way was one of only ten of their AWACS planes / A50s.
Heads are going to roll in Russia and maybe , I hope, this will finally lead to ☮️.
In Russia when they say axed they mean it literally.

What was done in Russia will be done in the US. Muslims and China are watching.
Can’t be. Russia is invincible. /s
I think we are soon going to see reports of people falling out of their high apartment windows.
Russia stopped producing these destroyed planes.
Russia stopped producing the Tu-95 and the A50's in 1992. The last Tu-22M3 was produced in 1993
They are also watching what was done to Russia, and they need to watch their butts.
I really miss this logic. Now China and Muslims world over are able and justified to attack the United States because planes got blown up in a war in Russia.
I mean it’s a shame because Muslims and the Red Chinese never wanted to attack the US before this.
“The last Tu-22M3 was produced in 1993”
Probably in Ukraine
Saddam had similar problems despite having the 4th largest army in the world at the time.
Now Russia has an economic opportunity after the world to rebuild their armed forces. They need to build new planes and tanks (plus drones).
All they have to do is to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine.
They saw how effective drones were and pocketed the knowledge.
I’ve been in corporations where there were disasters followed by massive firings. I’m trying without success to remember just one where the people who allowed the disaster were the ones fired.
Here’s why. The people at the top are responsible for setting up the structure that should prevent the disaster. They then hire people and tell them what their job is inside the structure. Those people do their job. It’s the structure that fails, not the people who are inside that structure. Who set up the structure? That’s the person responsible for the failure.
The more modern companies and the US military have feedback loops that allow for communications from the bottom.
Having said that, our air force has the same problems the Russians are having. What we don’t have yet are people exploiting that problem.
Another example of this phenomenon is college sports.
When you get to the top you get golden parachutes/protection .
Take Kenny Payne the ex-U of L basketball coach. His record was 12 wins and 52 losses (2nd worst ever there and worst of any major BB program in recent decades) , he was getting beat by formerly Junior Colleges like Bellarmine. He was getting blown out of the water by quality programs.
So what happens to Payne when they fire him? Poverty and disgrace? Nope he gets a MONTHLY check from U of L until well into 2027 of 201,339 dollars.
So in my rambling way I’m agreeing.
The World trade Centers were bombed and much later destroyed
Ukraine pulled off a near Pearl Harbor level sneak attack, but will pay for their boldness. Putin will deliver a punishing revenge and chances for a cease fire or resolution of the war are now greatly diminished.
I worry that US strategic forces are vulnerable to a similar attack. Last fall drones of unknown origin invaded US military installations and were left unmolested by the Biden administration. The Chinese spy balloon that Biden allowed to traverse the country could well have been spreading biological toxins. While Trump’s golden dome anti missile defense is need to protect the homeland from missile attacks, we also should be vigilant for devastating attacks with far less sophisticated weapons.
“So what happens to Payne when they fire him?”
He’s the right shade. He’ll get another job somewhere. Results don’t count with woke.
I figure China is secretly building a million drones.
Were I in Putin’s shoes my response would be decidedly asymmetrical, and not limited to Ukraine.
Too bad Jimmah Cahtah isn’t here to loan them another super computer to redesign and update their weapons systems.
The Russian leader has been **conspicuously absent** from public view since Ukraine’s successful strikes.
What better way of China have a hannd in it to give Russia just caused to say the U.S. did it for frist strik.
