The video footage looks like very neat attacks on exclusively military targets so good job from Ukraine on this one.
And when Russia inevitably retaliates we'll be reading headlines about unprovoked escalation by Russia.
Russia's been bombing Ukrainian schools and hospitals, if Russia does retaliate I don't think a drone attack on war planes is sufficient to call it "provoked".
If you want to look at what bombing schools and hospitals actually looks like then look no further than Gaza and the genocide western regimes are openly supporting.
Why does everyone on this platform assume that just because I'm pro-Ukraine, I must automatically be pro-Israel (rhetorical question). I'm against any country trying to do a land grab at the cost of human lives.
And whataboutism with Israel doesn't make Russia bombing schools and hospitals any better. Neither does Ukraine using them to house military equipment and personell.
People just assume a bit of consistency from you fascists.
I said it was rhetorical. I know the reason is because a lot of people here view the world in pro-America and anti-America with latter being "pure good" and the former "pure evil".
I wonder what your opinion is on Afghanistan.
My opinion on Afghanistan is that it was a successful socialist country before the US destroyed it and brutalized its people ever since.

This sounds like an ingenious operation that has been reported to have taken one and a half years to come to fruition.
the operation involved hiding explosive-laden drones inside the roofs of wooden sheds and loading them onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of the air bases.
Reports have claimed that Ukraine managed to smuggle modified truck containers, which were equipped with capabilities for launching drones, into Russian territory. These trucks were reportedly stationed near Russian nuclear bombers' bases. Ukrainian drones were launched autonomously from the backs of containers, as per a report on Iran Observer.
