The variety and number of strategic aircraft shown to be attacked by Ukrainian drones in this video is... shocking.
Bombers, transports, "AWACs”.
Some of the drones are even shown *landing softly on top* of the bombers before, presumably denotating.
A really stunning operation on all sorts of levels but while this will certainly put a dent in some of Russia’s airborne capabilities, the fact the operation took more than a year to plan and execute shows that this isn't exactly an immediate game changer and is not proof of any new Ukrainian ability that would stop or reverse Russia's aggression.
