Apparently these drones didn't use drone RFs they were using cell towers to fly.

30% less bombers means drone and missile attacks into Ukraine can be significantly decreased that's one of the biggest developments since the start of the war.

Yeah, if you set a bomb off on a plane that is most likely fuel laden, you're not going to be able to fly that plane again. If the air frame isn't completely destroyed, it's going to take months or years to repair, functionally rendering it destroyed.

Literally irreplaceable as Russia can't build these planes anymore.

The dollar value is easily in the billions.

Russias border is fucking huge. These guys could have fake passports, so fly something like... idk, Moscow to Ankara, then from there back to Ukraine.

They could have boarded flights hours after doing this attack. That's just an insane level of operational ballsiness.

I was seeing from other online spaces that this would be about 30% of Russias strategic bomber fleet and it's accompanying aircraft like their AWACs that got hit.

If that's the case that's a staggeringly bad day for the Russian air force, which means it's a good fucking day.

Seems like this particular base had zero security forces to watch their planes.

What's interesting to me is it seems like they were using a 'chain' of drones. One goes in and another is watching as BDA, then that one goes on it's mission, while the next is doing BDA, etc.

That's pretty brilliant. I wonder how many operators they were using per base.

This. I personally think they hacked the election, and they also purged the voter rolls.

The GOP effectively purged almost 5 million votes from the voter rolls.

Look how many votes trump won by.

Here's where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.

If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they'll continue to support you? You're a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.

You done fucked yourselves.
