into russia targeting 4 airbases. Thousands of miles into russia. Reportedly damaged 40 strategic bombers and AWACs planes. this would be crippling. The bombers are the ones carrying cruise missiles that are striking population centers in UKR.
One report said Ukrainians built cabins that had drones hidden in the roofing system. The cabins were trucked, uninspected, deep into russia where they were then activated. The roofs opened up and the drones took off to make the attacks.
russia doesnt have a lot of working AWACs planes so those losses are also devastating. They are a vital component of russias air defense system.
Because this is fresh, the degree of damage should be taken with a grain of salt but there are confirmed videos of air bases burning.
Some sites are reporting the fear that this escalation could result in a nuclear response. putie is reported to have called for an emergency meeting of his security council.
Slava Ukraine.
