.... was a general in the Russian Air Force.

Ukraine just succeeded in bombing Russian Air Force bombers. Word is thirteen destroyed of the multimillion dollar bombers,... all beyond hopes to repair.

Putin must be pissed that Ukraine's drones are getting beyond Russia's missile defense systems deep inside the country. Five different locations were hit deep inside - Russian air force bases were hit. Beyond the 13 that were totally destroyed many other new and more expensive planes were damaged but maybe able to repair.

Ukraine says it has completed its biggest long-range attack of the war with Russia on Sunday, after using smuggled drones to launch a series of major strikes on at least 40 Russian warplanes at four military bases.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said 117 drones were used in the so-called "Spider's Web" operation by the SBU security service, striking "34% of [Russia's] strategic cruise missile carriers".

SBU sources told BBC News it took a year and a half to organise the strikes.

Russia confirmed Ukrainian attacks in five regions, calling them a "terrorist act"
