Low cost and masterful. Talk about an effective ROI. AI drones attacking after the SBU guys have gone home, and sooo many points of interest there. I hope they repeat this in short order, before Putin is able to divert more resources to detecting this kind of attack.




So burns another Cold War relic used to murder civilians. Good riddance. I hope we see this kind of footage from Crimea soon.

Well to be honest the #1 issue Ukraine has is glide bomb; so i guess the question is how much will this reduce Russia ability to use glide bombs ? Also be impressed how Ukraine continues to target military targets given the amount of raw terrorism by Russia.

Glide bomb attacks are mostly conducted by Su-34s I think. These planes are what toss air launched cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities night after night. Reduced capacity to do this will also help preserve Ukraine's limited stocks of surface to air munitions.

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.
Yeah, forgot the history there. Anyway, the US renounced it's control establishing Panama as a sovereign nation IIRC. It's bad mojo to try to grab it now.

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 love to know the cost to damage ration on Russia. Drones are a game changer for countries with smaller armies.

This is what we want to see.

Now imagine chinese, russian, etc. container ships packed full of thousands of drones (large and small) parked off the coasts of the US or Taiwan. Ports and coastal cities would be decimated. This is what I've been worrying about lately. But here we are thinking of spending at least a trillion on a golden dome for ballistic missiles.

Why would Ukraine release how they accomplished this mission unless it was misinformation? Now russia will be aware of that type of attack. With that said I love the fight of the Ukrainians. They are a crafty bunch.

We spent more than a year and a half preparing for this operation. Even if we had not published the details, it is unlikely that we would have been able to repeat such an operation on such a scale successfully.

The russians are not that stupid and would have figured out how we managed to pull off this operation.

Wow—so they attacked airfields as far as eastern Siberia?

I don’t know what the immediate repercussions will be for Ukraine. I fear this might give Russia a pretext for using nuclear weapons (or at the very least staging a nuclear “accident”).

But, for the moment, this makes Russia—and by extension Putin—very weak on the world stage. And all those Putin apologists in the MAGA-sphere look even weaker. I’m all for that, but I think it’s premature to celebrate as long as Putin still breathes.

Why? We attacked exclusively military infrastructure. Even more, we targeted not just military infrastructure but literally the “vehicles” that were directly participating in this war, shelling our cities and killing our civilians.

These types of drones are an incredible and cheap force multiplier for basically anyone. The cost of an FPV drone starts in the $100’s of dollars.

Nation states and quasi - nation state groups are a danger yes, but even individuals could do significant damage to whatever target they wanted with an explosive ladened FPV drone. Any installation on Google Earth can be easily hit by drone attack.

I’m not sure if this type of threat assessment is being done everywhere is probably should be.

Sure about that? They attacked you to begin with, thinking it would be over soon. And their resounding stupidity echoes even harder with their continued efforts.
As far diplomacy and reading foreign will, Russia knows Europe is a weaponless chicken.

Strip the propaganda, and this is still a stalemate with Russia slowly advancing

Don’t fall into the trap of underestimating the russians. They make many foolish decisions, but they’re not completely stupid and they learn quickly. You shouldn’t underestimate them.
They can hack and repurpose appliance chips to make weapons like drones.

igor is not American, but American don't appreciate that old things or crude(donkeys) can work. For chip, who cares the process is 32nm instead of the latest or it is fridge chip when things still get blown up.

This is what I don't get. How does intelligence lead to becoming evil? What is the main reason for their messed up minds? Why don't they fix themselves instead of continuing to believe that the world is their enemy?
