As you know, something hit the Russian airbase in Engels hard. One or two Tu-95 strategic bombers

were damaged. According to preliminary data, it was a drone. The distance to the unoccupied

territory of Ukraine was 620 kilometers. For a drone is quite a manageable distance.

There’s a lot of unusual things in this war that have completely changed her pattern.

Drones are one of those things. Lacking a fleet, the Ukrainians have used drones to launch some

sensitive strikes against the Russian fleet and essentially - paralyze its operations.

Small drones with suspended grenades have been a real nightmare for the Russian infantry.

Now they have reached far-flung airfields.

Once the advent of airplanes (small, plywood, cheap) changed the course of the war at sea. It

took 20 years from the primitive biplanes of WWI to Pearl Harbor. Now everything has accelerated.

With large numbers of such weapons, the AFU will be able to make life very

difficult for the occupiers even in the far rear.

This is a picture of that very airbase in Engels. The power and pride of

Russian aviation stands wing to wing. In any place, drop a drone and minus a few planes.

Drop three or four - and one of the teeth of the nuclear triad can be broken once and for all.

Here, by the way, Ukrboronprom announced testing of Unmanned

aerial vehicle with a range of 1,000 km. Coincidence, probably.

I can imagine how surprised we were at the Pentagon after

the drone attack on Russia’s strategic aviation airfield.

They carefully planned everything - electronic suppression, then cruise missiles,

massive volley of Tomahawks, the probability of defeat plus minus, air defense countermeasures.

And here's a drone, the price of three pennies, wrecking two strategic bombers.

The main question that now resounds in the offices over the Potomac is, "Is that really possible?"

The Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian UAVs flying at low altitude in the Ryazan and

Saratov regions were intercepted. However, as a result of the fall and explosion at Russian

airfields, the wreckage of Ukrainian UAVs was slightly damaged the hull of two aircraft.

Why do you intercept them right above the planes and not much earlier?

Well, actually, and a photo of «slight damage to the plating». Tailplane is ruined,

it is necessary to change the planes completely. Note the engine nozzles, twisted into a corkscrew.

Aircraft totally disabled and unfit for flight. Now it is necessary to "cannibalize" another to

restore this one. They haven't made parts for this ancient piece of junk in a very long time.

Two dozen such raids and the strategic aviation is following the Moskva cruiser.

What does this mean? That there is no air defense around their bases at all.

To install it, we have to take complexes somewhere. And where? Right, at the front.

Which opens up certain opportunities for Ukrainian aviation.
