For the first time in world history, the main strategic aviation force, the carrier of nuclear weapons, was defeated right at its bases by a group drone strike. The outstanding sabotage operation of the Security Service of Ukraine will go down in all military history books, as this defeat of Russia is one of the most costly in terms of consequences and losses, which seriously reduces the number of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces.
At the moment, according to our sources, 41 strategic and military transport aircraft of the Russian Armed Forces have been hit at four bases. Some of the drones were attacked with auto-targeting, and the results of their strikes will be determined using satellite imagery.
A group of SBU agents smuggled 150 small attack drones and 300 rounds of ammunition into Russia.
116 drones took to the air.
The drones were controlled via Russian telecommunication networks, using automated guidance.
Several mobile take-off points on Russian territory were located near Russian strategic aviation bases.
The drones were attacked from a short distance during the day in the enemy’s deep rear. The air bases were covered by significant air defence forces - anti-aircraft missile systems, electronic warfare systems, and patrols with small arms. But the Russians expected nighttime attacks by heavy, large attack drones, which are clearly visible in the air, and did not expect an attack by small quadcopters during the day.
The attack on the Olenya strategic missile base of Tu-95s was particularly successful, as the drones accurately hit the filled fuel tanks and a significant number of the aircraft burned to ashes.
An operation of this scale and with such a huge economic and military effect, at such a high technological level, has no analogues in the world.
It is very important that the SBU agents have successfully returned to Ukraine. Ukraine did not suffer any losses.
Results:
-
Military equipment worth billions of dollars was destroyed;
-
strategic aircraft, which Russia does not produce, were destroyed.
-
Weakened enemy strike capabilities, as these aircraft were an important component of constant terrorist attacks on Ukrainian cities.
-
The enemy will have to spend a lot of money to strengthen the defence of its bases and facilities.
Yes, such achievements should be recognised with the highest state award. Is it possible to award a second Hero of Ukraine to SSU leaders? Because the results are worth it.
The heroes who directly performed such a historic task and returned with victory certainly deserve the highest title.

The fact the russian side of the border is that porous is really interesting .

Wow. Honestly kinda surprised they were that vulnerable. Doesn’t Russia have any sort of CWIS systems to defend their ground based nuclear bombers and advanced radar command and control aircraft? Seems kinda important, don’t you think?
They were expecting big slow drones that would take hours flying from Ukraine. Instead they got many small ones that took 18 months to arrive but were invisible until the last minute. A surprise zerg rush, when they were expecting and preparing against ultralisks.
(My analogies are very weak today)
Pretty much all of their air defense seems to be stationed at the front and around their oil facilities.
Getting fucking rekt, Russia. Sabotage is king
Very roughly speaking, how many comparable aircraft does Russia own, just so I can understand the extent of this attack? Sounds great either way.
Nice job, folks! Would suck to be whichever yes-man had to inform Pootie about the $7 billion in aircraft they lost in one night, a third of their ability to deliver cruise missiles.
The best part about this? They didn’t tell the US about this because they know they are leaking info to the Russians. Pathetic.
i will wait a week to then read the real number.
