НUR Says at Least 5 Bombers Damaged in Bold Attack on 3 Russian Airfields

Source: Kyiv Post

Kyiv Post’s intelligence sources have confirmed a successful special operation by Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (НUR), during which they struck three Russian airfields late Thursday night into Friday morning.

According to the source, at least three Tu-95MS strategic bombers were damaged in the attack by unmanned aerial vehicles at the Engels-2 airfield. Seven Russian soldiers were also killed in the operation, including, presumably, bomber pilots.

“Innovative tactics and equipment were used, which came as a surprise to the enemy’s electronic warfare and air defense systems,” a source told the Kyiv Post.

In addition, Ukrainian drones struck a military airfield in Yeysk, killing four Russian army soldiers and completely burning down two enemy Su-25 attack aircraft.

Starting a war by staying in their own borders. How in your face can you get?

had better get off their dead cult asses and allow the Ukraine aid bill to come up for a vote. Screw Empty G and her band of Putin worshippers. There are enough republicans who are breaking away from the cult to pass it along with our Democratic Reps.

Asymmetrical warfare is changing the battlefield on a daily basis. When faced with a stalemate they may decide to escalate.

and that actual republicans before them have concentrated the U.S. arms and ammunition manufacturers in red states that certainly could use the extra work right now.
Why, these red state companies would be making too damned much money to complain about the Biden economy.

No one ever counted on Congressional republicans being this stupid before. That's what you get when you elect performance artists instead of actual lawmakers.

Although I'm not sure about red states needing extra work; why? Far as I know UE is low everywhere

Still, it would be harder for them to complain about the economy if they're working all the time.

The Ukranians are really pushing the envelope with drone warfare. It's great to see them scoring so many victories with drone strikes. I salute their fighting spirit.
