Kind of like what MAGA wants
Well, Putin's got a hard on for reestablishing the soviet union, so he'd like to acquire the states that went independent when it dissolved. And being that Poland has been part of Russia several times in the past, he'd love to bring them under Russia's sprawling wings.

OTOH, Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal have never been US territory.

MAGA is an insane cult under a stupid red umbrella partly fueled by nostalgia. I've always distrusted nostalgia.

The oddest thing about MAGA is that the cult leader aside from trying to enrich himself every way he possibly can, corruption be damned, is trying desperately to destroy everything that's great about America. The evidence is overwhelming.

Taking out an A-50 is huge. Think Russia only had like 10 of them. With sanctions it's going to be hard to replace them.
Wonder how they were able to get the signal for the drones. The operators nearby or using satellites to control them from afar.

As far as is known, the drones were launched from relay trucks that were parked near the airfields.

Man it is going to be awkward in Istanbul as the Russians present (yet again) their same list of bullshit demands while a sizable percentage of their long range aviation just got incinerated by the people across the table.

Russia can't even build civilian airliners. I think they have done one prototype in the last 10 years.

Replacing the Tu-95s and Tu-22s lost will be very very difficult even if they have spares that can eventually be made operational again. If they are too stripped to do much with the hit to their strategic aviation could be permanent.

The special operation "Spider Web", which resulted in the SBU destroying 41 Russian strategic aviation aircraft, was in preparation for more than a year and a half.

According to our sources, this operation was exceptionally complex from a logistical standpoint. First, the SBU covertly transported FPV drones into Russia, followed by mobile wooden huts. Once inside Russian territory, the drones were concealed beneath the roofs of these huts, which were mounted on cargo trucks. At the appointed moment, the hut roofs were opened remotely, allowing the drones to fly out and strike the Russian bombers on their airfields.

We have unique photographs showing exactly how the drones were readied for the attack on the military airbases.

Sources within the SBU emphasize that everyone involved in this historic special operation has long since returned to Ukraine. Therefore, if the Putin regime stages a public arrest of someone, it will be nothing more than another show for its domestic audience.

Would have been good if they could have parked a container close to each of the Russian factories which uses Western manufacturing machines. Would take a few months to get back up and running.

Effectively, the Panama Canal Zone was US territory. The US created the nation of Panama to secure the territory that would become the Canal Zone and directly governed the Canal Zone for over seventy five years.

Losing another A-50 and so many launch platforms for cruise missiles, wow. Nice one Malyuk. Now do the Kerch!

Looking forward to seeing the reaction of RT talking heads, how they piss and moan while they debate the combat boot just embedded up Putin's ass. Popcorn ready.

Donald Trump was not told about Ukraine’s mass drone attack on Russia’s strategic bomber bases."

Of course he wasn't. Why would they tip off their enemy about an operation like this?

Stabbing countries in the back has consequences. Being actively kept out of the loop by one of those countries is one such consequence.

They stopped telling the Biden administration these things as well after one too many leaks to the media.
