War Changed Forever – Ukraine Drone Attacks In Russia

Go to Article

We are ALL righteously outraged by the Colorado Intifada Terror Attack yesterday and we pray for the victims. While we wait to hear more maybe we should talk about the Ukraine drone attacks in different parts of Russia. These attacks using First Person View (FPV) drones destroyed
Russian bombers and changed the way war is waged forever.

The New York Times reported that Russian and Ukrainian representatives met for peace talks today. Can you say awkward?

Russia and Ukraine met in Istanbul on Monday for peace talks, a day after trading some of the most intense air attacks of the war, but the discussions produced little results beyond an agreement to exchange prisoners and the bodies of fallen soldiers.

Russia and Ukraine had been expected to discuss their respective conditions for a peace deal, or at least a cease-fire, in the second round of negotiations since the two sides resumed direct dialogue two weeks ago.

But while Kyiv had shared its peace terms with Moscow ahead of the meeting, Russia did not reciprocate and presented its terms only on Monday, officials from both countries said. The Ukrainian delegation said it would need a week to review Moscow’s proposal, delaying further discussion.

You can always count on the New York Times to ignore the big old drone in the room. “Russia and Ukraine met in Istanbul on Monday for peace talks, a day after trading some of the most intense air attacks of the war…” The Times just ignored the surprise/unexpected/game changing drone strikes that Ukraine carried out that changed Russia’s position in the war. Not that I believe either side can win as things stand now.

We should probably mention Senator Dick “DaNang” Blumenthal and Senator Lindsay “Bootlicker Extraordinaire” Graham were just visiting Kyiv to stroll with Volodymyr Zelenskyy just before this happened. Blumenthal and Graham love war as long as they are not fighting.

Just what exactly happened with these First Person View (FPV) drones. The best explanation was in The Economic Times article, “The Ukrainian truck trick: How Kyiv smuggled drones 4,000 km into Russia to strike bases housing nuclear-capable aircraft”:

In what Ukrainian officials have described as the largest single strike on Russian airpower since its full-scale invasion began in 2022, Kyiv on Sunday used drones launched from inside Russia itself — smuggled in trucks and concealed under mobile wooden houses — to destroy or damage over 40 military aircraft at air bases deep inside Russian territory.

The unprecedented operation, dubbed “Web” by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), marked a major escalation in Ukraine’s drone warfare strategy. A Ukrainian military official speaking anonymously to the Associated Press revealed that the attack, which took more than 18 months to plan, was personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He didn’t do anything, but he did stay out of their way. More:

In his evening address, Zelenskyy confirmed the use of 117 drones and said the operation was staged from a location right next to a local FSB (Russia’s intelligence agency) headquarters — a symbolic jab at Moscow’s security establishment.

This was no ginormously expensive war machine. No tricked out jet. This was even more tactical than the Israeli beeper operation. How did they do it?

According to the Ukrainian military official, the operation involved first smuggling first-person view (FPV) drones into Russia, where they were assembled into mobile wooden houses mounted on trucks. The drones were concealed under retractable roofs, hidden in plain sight.

“At the right moment, the roofs of the houses were remotely opened, and the drones flew to hit Russian bombers,” the source told AP. Social media videos widely circulated by Russian media appear to corroborate the claim , showing drones rising from container-like compartments on trucks, with debris and panels scattered on surrounding roads. One video even shows men scrambling onto a truck to try and stop the drones from taking off. However, this footage remains unverified.

Check out this video:

Holee shite. That’s diabolical. And then the vehicles themselves self-destructed. Those planes that were destroyed look awfully expensive. Not a good look for Putin. On the other hand, it doesn’t look good for Zelenskyy either. He’s still a little beyotch.

It doesn’t look good for us either. All that farmland near military bases and installations bought by China. An old beater trucker and a couple of drones and gone. The barbarians can defeat a most elite system, if the barbarians can drive a truck.

Guess we all better buy more bullets.
