It’s just extremely funny, worst day for r*ssian strategic aviation ever. Achieved by: short range fpv drones and trucks

At least 41 airplane is partially or completely disabled.
Sigh… unzips
Worst day for ruzzian stratetic aviation so far
Nah, best day. Cuz their strategic aviation ceasing to exist would be for the best.
Russian news now call this “A teRroRiStIc AcT” though.
Which is actually hilarious because in what world is attacking military targets that are used for military operations against Ukraine stationed on a military site “terrorism”
The mental gymnastics performed for this are actually quite impressive
When there were news about Russian airstrikes that killed Ukrainian civilians in last few weeks, I’ve seen folks on some certain part of Lemmy discuss it as “Well, what did Zelensky expect after Ukrainians terrorizing Moscow oblasts few days earlier”.
And thing is - it was well documented what did Ukraine hit - with videos showing that it certainly wasn’t some apartment complex, but it seems that mental gymnastics sticks to some people and that you can’t really reason with tankies.
They had an ~80% loss in one day, there’s still room for a 100% loss in one day
At worst they lost close to 30% of their strategic fleet, crippling blow (they can’t manufacture new ones) but not fatal.
Didn’t bother to look up the numbers just for a joke, but apparently the planes hit were the ones prepared for take-off, so it might actually still be close if enough of the remaining planes weren’t airworthy
1st of June is also Russian “Day of military aviation”. 🌚 And tomorrow there’ll be second round of talks in Istanbul, so yeah, our boys will be packed with cards.
I thought that the “negotiations” were pretty much just between the US and Russia, and Ukraine was being more or less ignored by them both now?
Ukraine has pressure from other allies too, to participate in that. Taco Don said he’d be a mediator in such talks, if there was personal meeting of Zelensky and Putin, but it seems that even man of that much density started noticing that one side is clearly uncooperative and only manipulates US to stop aid to Ukraine.
Worst day for russian strategic aviation so far
Drinks are free for these guys. This an amazing operation and is about to cripple all Russian trucking for a bit, as the entire country is searched.
How are they getting back? Some of those sites were pretty far away.
That was the best part. The trucks were driven by Russians themselves. They built small sheds in Kazakhstan with automated opening roofs, then loaded in the smuggled drones. They loaded them all up into a rigged container. Then they moved them across an easier to cross border into Russia, with a set up fake company. Last thing was to hire local Russian truck drivers and deliver them to pre set spots by the air bases. All SBU guys get out of Russia, with unwitting truck drivers delivering the doom to the air force.
That’s amazing! I hope we get more details on this later, it would make a great movie someday.
Ukraine said that all personnel was extracted before they flicked the switch. Dunno how or if it is even true. But they did show so much video and gave so many details that it sounds true?
I must apologize to Dahir Insaat for ever mocking their 18 wheeler drone airbase attack video
I pray Ukraine does not make me apologize for mocking the video where a drone loads and anti tank shell into a vice grip and hits the primer with a hammer
I must apologize to Dahir Insaat for ever mocking their 18 wheeler drone airbase attack video
Didn’t Dahir Insaat try to pitch their stuff to Putin in a open letter video, and Putin notably didn’t respond, but was probably like “no, that’s too wacky”?
Look who’s doing wacky shit now! Putin is going to wish he had bought a Hell Bed
That’s an explosive casting couch JD Vance is jealous.
Context?
Apparently billions of dollars worth of russian strategic bombers burned today.
Slava Ukraini!
My favourite kind of gang bang.
YOOOOOOO
