Drone Attack on Russian Airfields: Ukraine Claims Major Victory

Drone Strikes Devastate Russian Airfields: Ukraine's SBU Releases Footage A recent drone attack on Russian military airfields has resulted in significant damage to Russia's strategic bomber fleet, according to a video released by Ukraine's Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The footage shows burning aircraft and extensive destruction at an airfield. The SBU claims the attack involved drone strikes on four airfields in total. "The drones were partially controlled with the help of artificial intelligence," stated a narrator in the video. The video also highlights the use of tires on some aircraft, possibly as makeshift protection against drone attacks or to confuse targeting systems. Experts have noted this tactic. According to the Associated Press, satellite imagery confirms the destruction of at least seven aircraft at the Belaya airbase in Siberia alone. Ukraine claims a total of 41 Russian aircraft were damaged or destroyed in the attacks. The incident marks a significant blow to Russia's military capabilities and underscores the evolving nature of modern warfare. The scale of the attack and the use of AI-assisted drones raise questions about the future of military strategy and the potential for escalating conflict.
