Humiliated Putin loses warplanes worth £148,000,000 despite stepping up security
Metro UK ^ | 6/28/2025 | Brooke Davies

Vladimir Putin has lost four warplanes worth £37 million each despite stepping up their defences after Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb.

A pair of Su-34 fighters were destroyed and two more damaged after an attack on on Marinovka military airfield in Volgograd.

Ukraine used long range drones to fly more than 200 miles to inflict the latest £148 million blow to Putin’s aerial firepower.

It came less than a month after Russia supposedly tightened its military air base security after 40-plus strategic bombers and spy planes were hit in Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb.

Russia responded by hitting Ukrainian civilians with a strike on a 21-storey residential block in Odesa, killing a married couple and leaving at least 14 others wounded including children aged three and seven.

Furious Russian military analysts confirmed the damage to the Su-34 multi-role fighters used on the frontline for bombing missions against Ukraine, including dropping guided aerial bombs.

The latest attack was admitted by pro-war Russian Telegram channel Fighterbomber which raged that the hit ‘could and should have been prevented’.

‘There is no point in commenting on Marinovka….and it would be nice if not only the [Ukrainians] were held accountable….otherwise, it will continue like this.’

The channel expressed fury at the ‘multi-billion dollar’ losses Putin’s forces are suffering.

“ Russia Dominates US As World’s Largest Owner Of Natural Resources

Natural resources are the backbone of modern manufacturing, necessary to produce everything around us…$75 trillion,…..little debt….self sufficient.

US, 127 percent debt to GDP, $37 trillion in unpaid/ owed debt…..Russia holds the economic cards….a kid with a calculator can see who is broke.

How does your comment relate in any way?

If Russia is such an economic powerhouse, how come the world trades in USD? How come people flock to the US for jobs, education, and freedom? Tell me, what good are natural resources if you lack the population or ability to exploit them?

Does the US have issues? Of course! Is it perfect? No! Do we have an epidemic of political opponents falling out of windows? Also no!

If Russia is such an economic powerhouse,
—————-
The World buys Russian energy, commodities, energy, (natural resources)….they don’t put their economic might into their paper currency, their “ Bank” is commodities and natural resources….$75 trillion worth….and rising…

….ALL the world’s paper currencies are rapidly declining in purchasing power.
One look at the increasing price of Gold, Silver, Platinum, metals, minerals, etc. show they are sitting on a Virtual “ Gold mine”.

"Does the US have issues?"

I have had an issue with the U.S. ever since they sent me away for eleven years for my failed ponzi scheme.
