Ukrainian forces have wiped out dozens of Russian military aircraft, including nuclear bombers, in a massive drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s air bases deep inside the country, Kyiv sources are claiming.

The mission carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four separate airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine, a security source told the Kyiv Independent on Sunday.

The drones were reportedly smuggled into the country hidden in trucks.

TU-95 “Bear” nuclear bombers, TU-22 “Backfire” fast-attack strike bombers and A-50 “Mainstay” command-and-control jets were among the aircraft that were destroyed in the strike, according to reports.

Others targeted were in Murmansk in the Arctic Circle, Ryazan southeast of Moscow, and Ivanovo, to the northeast of the Russian capital.

NATO did it and they are looking for a giant escalation. Interesting that Linda Graham is over shooting off his big mouth as this happens.

Yeah. I’m going to guess, he was briefed while Trump was not. Total hubris on the part of Ukraine and the west. No doubt there will be neocons celebrating thinking the war the want will finally happen. Never crossed their minds that may may say to themselves: the west won’t stop trying to attack us. If we go we’ll take everyone else or the could nuke a NATO country and dare the west to respond.

Naw. It’ll just piss em off even more.

What is becoming more interesting is the battle starting within Zoocrayn between the little green gnome and the mayor of Kiev.

Waiting to see how long before the Banderites eliminate that threat.

There’s no way Ukraine pulled this off by themselves. Wonder what the response will be.

I’ll even go one better; Both the US and Europe are ripe for civil war and pushing a world war they may very well find themselves with a civil war also.

Russia still has a dead hand trigger on its nuclear missile system.

If every single human system fails, it automatically launches every single ICBM.

BTW. That includes the poseidon system they’ve most certainly deployed.

If this is true, this will not sit very well with the Ruskies. Losing those heavy bombers is the same as the US losing a handful of B52’s and B1’s.

There will be massive, and I mean massive retaliations. This is also a major setback for any peace settlement.

But then again, is this propaganda? I hope it is, or nukes could fly and make all the NATO jerks and neocons very happy.

Nothing really changed that.

Russia has had that system in place for years. They simply upgraded it.

Aint enough psychological people on earth to treat this insanity pandemic worldwide.

None of mine are going to fight in a neocon war...
